Internal Dynamics Parameters

When modeling any process, it is essential to use parameters which reflect reality, otherwise the model will not give accurate predictions. Thus we spend a considerable time researching, analysing and estimating parameters so that our model will reflect real life behaviour as accuratly as possible.

Parameter Description Value Unit Reference
Rate of production of HSL from LuxI 0.45 1/s [1]
HSL Rate of diffusion of HSL in/out of the cell 0.4 1/s [1]
IPTG Rate of diffusion of IPTG in/out of the cell 0.014 1/s [3]

Calculating promoter strengths

The majority of our promoter strengths were calculated as follows.

1. the paper "Measuring the activity of BioBrick promoters using an in vivo reference standard" published in the Journal of Biological Engineering makes J23101 their reference standard, giving it a strength of 0.03 POPS.

We can directly compare the strengths of all the J series constititive promoters using the standard registry of parts website. from this page we can calculate that if J23101 =0.03 pops then our original LuxI and luxR promoter
