Parameters

As our circuit is relatively complex, we have many factors and thus many parameters with which to describe the function of these factors mathematically.

These parameters are as follows: # δ is a function designed to represent the presence/absence of light in a Boolean fashion. δ=0 without light and 1 with light. # c_1 represents the rate of conformational change from LovTAP to LovTAP* when irradiated with 470nm light. # c_2 represents the rate of SupD + T7ptag --> T7 polymerase # α represents the maximum protein synthesis rate in nanomoles/min. # β represents the basal synthesis rate. We assume ∀x β_x= .01α_x # μ represents the protein degradation rate. # n represents a ligand’s hill coefficient. # K_m represents the ligand’s dissociation constant
