Sensitivity Tuner
Response of the pBAD promoter to arabinose concentration
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7608087 Tight regulation, modulation and and high level expression by vectors containing the arabinose pBAD promoter, Guzman et al. 1995]
[http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121400517/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 A high throughput approach to promoter study using Green Fluorescent, Pigment Rao et al. 2008]
AraC changes conformation in the presence of arabinose to permit transcription. It is always bound in the region around pBAD:
