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/sec.
- 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
