| A major part of the project consisted of modelling each module. This enabled us to decide which ideas we should implement. Look at the Fast Response page for a great example of how modelling has made a major impact on our design! | |

| We are assuming steady-state for AIP, Phosphate, ComD and ComE in our cell/in the solution. Hence, we can neglect production and degradation rates of ComD and ComE. | ||
| ||
| Equation 1: AIP binds to ComD receptor to form a complex (AIP-ComD) | ||
| AIP + ComD ↔ AIP-ComD | ||
| Equation 2: Phosphate binds to the AIP-ComD complex to form another complex (AIP-ComD*) | ||
| AIP-ComD + Phosphate ↔ AIP-ComD* | ||
| Equation 3: ComE binds to the AIP-ComD* recepetor to form another complex (AIP-ComD*-ComE) | ||
| AIP-ComD* + ComE ↔ AIP-ComD*-ComE | ||
| Equation 4: Phosphate group on ComD binds to ComE and forms two products: phosphorylated ComE (ComE*) and AIP-ComD | ||
| AIP-ComD*-ComE ↔ AIP-ComD + ComE* | ||
| Using the Law of Mass Action, we can rewrite these 4 equations: | ||
| ||
| In the above equations, the forwards reaction constants are represented by k1,2,3,4, for the first, second, third and fourth reaction, respectively. The backwards reaction constants are represented by k-1,-2,-3,-4. |
