ModelingStatus: Under Development The purpose of Modeling was to characterize expression vectors in terms of expression level and time-delay, all activated by a diffused inducer. Using simple enzyme kinetics equations, we elected to mathematically simulate the following model:  Variables: Iex: External Inducer, determined by diffusion through Fick's law (IPTG in our experiment) Iin: Internal Inducer (IPTG) Ii: Inducer bound to Repressor (IPTG bound to lacI) i: Repressor (lacI) Db: Repressor-bound DNA (lacI-bound DNA(CHS3) region in plasmid) Dunb: transcribe-able or Repressor-unbound DNA (lacI-unbound DNA(CHS3)) Re: mRNA for Enzyme (CHS3 mRNA) E: Enzyme (CHS3) S: Substrate (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) C: Enzyme Substrate Complex (CHS3-(N-Acetyl-Glucosamine)-Chitin or (NAG)n Complex) P: Protein Product (Chitin or (NAG)n+1) Matlab was used to generate a theoretical model where IPTG would diffuse down the biofilm as according to Fick's Law of Diffusion and initiate the process. The extracellular substrate concentration was assumed to be much greater than the uptake/use, and so would diffuse in at a constant rate. This model was fitted with empirical data using cp-lacpi-gfp to estimate the effect of varying cp, lacpi, and rbs on enzyme and final product production.
