The Complete Turing Machine
The above image is a representation of the complete turing machine including inter state regulation. This model is true to Alan Turing's vision of multi-mutually exclusive states and the states being regulated by one another through outputs.
Working of the Construct
In the above construct, there are three independent modules that function
- A constitutively working module which produces LuxR protein and LacI
- A State-'B'
- An AND gate regulated activation of the turing machine function (it could be lysis, expression of a fluorescent protein or the synthesis of vanillin or methyl salicylate)
The default state of the turing machine is 'A'. In this state it encounters a '0' (represented by Lactose) first.However there are no Lactose responsive elements in either the first or the second module. The third Module which has such a module however also requires the presence of
