The time scale of the model might be to large, because it’s not possible to define units to the different parameters in the model such as defining time steps as seconds, minutes and so on, the problem involves defining concentrations of the enzymes.<br>

In the program defining time steps as seconds, minutes and so on, is not possible this problem also involves defining concentrations of the enzymes.<br>
Some of the initial reaction rate constants and enzyme concentrations was from articles, and afterwards optimized for this model [[https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-bc#References 3]].<br>

Focusing on the behaviour of TAR/TARm in the model (Figure 5), it demonstrates that the concentration of methylated TAR rises if no phosphorylated CheB is present in the system.<br> When the concentration of phosphorylated CheB rises the concentration of methylated TAR drops.<br>

This is a simplified model and only describes a small part of the real system, this makes the data produced by the model useless as prediction for actual bacterial behaviour.<br>

Also the too large time scale is making it impossible too describe what happens when the photosensor in the cell is activated by light. <br>
Also the too large time scale is making it impossible too describe what happens when the photosensor in the cell is activated by light. <br>
When trying too introduce the photosensor and the effect of light in the model, the increase in light doesn’t change the system behaviour to a degree that affects the output of the program.<br>
