The modeling of the system will be made of differential equations, describing the intra and extra molecular dynamics using parameters such as genic devices and substances diffusion. Initial trials of the associative behavior were made considering the system as a discrete one. Although it is not definitive due to the continuity of the variables, the program was capable of predict which inputs could generate a proper Hopfield network operation and which couldn't.
In order to give more precise parameters to the models, measurements of the QS substances diffusibility – an important prediction of the system dynamics. This diffusibility will be estimated using anthocyanins with similar characteristics (polarity and molecular weight) to the real QS substances. Using the spectrometer, will be measured the diffusibility across the wells. In the same experiment, the diffusibility across the membrane will be measured as well. These measurements have great importance to verify the efficiency and viability of the system and of the device.
