The simplified model does not consider the normal metabolism in the cell. It only includes the most important enzymes in the normal ''E. coli'' chemotaxis pathway and the proteins responsible for coupling the phototaxis to the chemotaxis.<br>

When light hits the photo receptor SRII, the signal is transduced through the HtrII and Tsr and on to the enzyme CheW. CheW is then activated because it is a straight-forward signal transduction. The proteins SRII and HtrII are not considered in the model and the equation for the activation of CheW is:<br> <br><br>
