Having decided to work on an engineered biological system which exhibits learning, we elaborated on its design. Discussing with the biologists of the team, we realized that what we knew from the field of logic design as JK flip-flop with a latch may be implemented with biological parts using a modified toggle switch. Initial simulations showed us that it was possible to reach the desired behaviour. Therefore, a complete framework of differential equations describing the system was constructed and parameters were searched in the literature. Simulations performed with our new detailed model are very encouraging.
+
-
In this page, the equations that model our system are and explained. The values that were chosen for the system parameters are presented and the results of our simulations are analyzed. References are provided at the end of the page. For an introduction to system modeling in synthetic biology, please read our modeling tutorial [[ETHZ/Modeling_Basics|here]].</p><br>

 +
In order to ensure that our simulation results match the biology as close as possible, we tried to find good estimates for the biological system parameters. To this end, we performed an extensive literature review. However, not all parameters were found in the literature, especially those which do not refer to vastly used proteins. Whenever this was the case, logical estimates were provided by our biologists based on empirical values.

Parameters for the educatETH E.coli system

In order to ensure that our simulation results match the biology as close as possible, we tried to find good estimates for the biological system parameters. To this end, we performed an extensive literature review. However, not all parameters were found in the literature, especially those which do not refer to vastly used proteins. Whenever this was the case, logical estimates were provided by our biologists based on empirical values.


Model Parameters

General parameters

Parameter Value Description Comments
c1max 0.01 [mM/h] max. transcription rate of constitutive promoter (per gene) promoter no. J23105; Estimate
c2max 0.01 [mM/h] max. transcription rate of LuxR-activated promoter (per gene) Estimate
lhi 25 high-copy plasmid number Estimate
llo 5 low-copy plasmid number Estimate
a 1% basic production levels Estimate
