Properties of Promoters

BBa_K613007: TAATACGACTCACTATAGGGAGAGGAATTGTGAGCGGATAACAA
Mutant I: TAATGCGACTCACTATAGGACAATTGTGGGCGGACAACAATTCCAA
Mutant II: TAATACGACTCACTACAGGGCGGAATTGTGAGCGGATAACAATTCCAA
Mutant III: CAATCCGACTCACTAAAGAGAGAATTGTGAGCGGATAACAATTCCAA

Using the model we developed in MATLAB, we calculated the following properties with respect to the wild-type promoter.
Promoter Mutant I Mutant II Mutant III
Transcription Strength 97% 72% 127%
Translational Efficiency 6% 6% 94%
RNA degradation constant (assumed) 100% 100% 100%
Protein degradation constant (fit) 4% 6% 60%
