We are going to use both Kappa and MATLAB to model electron transfer from the cell. Descriptions to follow. "All models are wrong, but some can be useful."

Our MATLAB modellers decided to take on the task of modelling the bioelectric interface as a biosensor similar to the one created by the Edinburgh iGEM team in 2006 in order to investigate whether it is currently . While the KAPPA modellers were looking at the electron transport going on inside the cell between molecules, the MATLAB modellers wanted to look at how the cell becomes an electric interface and if this can become a useful model.

</br><br>As described in the video abstract, an inducer molecule starts the process by interacting with the mtrCAB gene which will then lead to the production of the mtrCAB proteins required to make an ordinary cell into a bioelectric interface. If we are to use the bioelectric interface as an arsenic biosensor, the inducer molecule will be the arsenic molecule being detected and the protein being expressed will be the mtrCAB proteins.
