Week 31: July 30th to August 5th

• Know if there is a basal production of Cya
• Determine modeling for the receptor

There is no wild type in the experiments, but thanks to the glucose we can say that there is no basal production of Gfp/Cya (it is the same because they are regulated by the same promotor. The problem with the receptor model is that we have a lot of equations and thus too much parameters (16). After a meeting with our advisors we decided to simplify the equations and chose a different model.
For the deterministic model of the receptor, we chose to model reactions of the receptor behavior by a series of complexations. We got the inspiration from iGEM Imperial College 2010. The graphs obtained weren't satisfying so we decided to review the parameters values.
