Biosensor


Our biosensor model is a continuation of the previously exposed transport and accumulation model with the addition of the production of luciferase as a function of ArsR|As concentration. In this way, we can relate the concentration of extracellular As to the production of luciferase.


ODEs



The ODEs that describe the kinetics of the biosensor modules include all the assumptions presented in the core model and the equations presented for the accumulation and transport module, along with their corresponding parameters.

Taking into account the equations from the accumulation and transport module, we introduce a generator for Luciferase:


Luciferase mRNA

\begin{equation} \large \frac{d[mRNA_{Luc}]}{dt} = \alpha _{mLuc}\cdot (pro_{ars})\cdot(\frac{k_{D1}^{h_{1}}}{k_{D1}^{h_{1}}+[ArsR]^{h_{1}}})- \delta _{mRNA_{Luc}}[mRNA_{Luc}] \end{equation}


Luciferase protein

\begin{equation} \large \frac{d[Luc]}{dt} = \alpha _{pLuc}\cdot[mRNA_{Luc}]- \delta _{Luc}[Luc] \end{equation}


Parameters




The parameters for the ODEs describing the production of luciferase mRNA and protein are shown in the next table.
