Overview
The design of signaling module is given by the figure below:ODEs
Let’s begin by considering the cya gene activation by the transcription factor OmpR*. As it is a gene activation, the transcription rate is usually modelized by a hill function:Parameters
Here is the link to the parameters of the amplification module we sometimes refer to.Constants | Value | Derivation |
---|---|---|
Total quantity [OmprR]tot | 6.8*10-8mol.L-1 | The average number of OmpR molecules per cell is 80.769 ± 0.719 [2]. Knowing the cell volume (vc = 1.1*10-15L[3]) and the Avogadro number NA = 6.02*10-23mol.L-1, we deduce [OmpR]tot = 80/(NA*vc) = 6.8*10-8mol.L-1 |
Goldbeter-Koshland model constants | v = 80 L-1.min-1 V' = 7*10-8mol.L-1.min-1 K = 7*10-7mol.L-1 K' = 9*10-8mol.L-1 |
|
Hill Coefficient | n = 2 | We took a number greater than one to indicate positive cooperativity. |
