Introduction to the Modelling the ayeSwitch
This page is an introduction to the different equations and techniques that we used to design and predict the behaviour of the ayeSwitch.
Equations
In this section we describe the process of developing a basic mathematical model for the ayeSwitch based the promotion and inhibition behaviour necessary for mutual repression. We developed a set of four differential equations, one to model each of the two mRNAs and proteins that are the active components of our system.
Fixed Points
In order to predict the behaviour of the ayeSwitch, we used
