AI-2 Binding to the LuxP-LuxQ Protein Complex. Each column represents one of twenty E.coli bacteria. The state of the modelled bacteria over a period of 50 simulated time steps is depicted along the vertical axis. The color of each cell indicates the binding degree between AI-2 and the LuxP-LuxQ complex. The color spectrum spans from red (no binding) over white to blue (complete binding). As time progresses an increasing amount of AI-2 is produced by LuxS and gets bound to LuxP-LuxQ.
