Results of Modeling

E7 production system

Modeling of the System shows that Lactose induction is essential to produce E7 and a variation of Lactose input can result in different yields of E7

Lysis Production system

Here we define 1 as a certain threshold e.g. (<250 µM) that when the lysis protein reaches it, lysis in the cell definitely occurs. Although we wish for an absolute AND gate, where 0 will have no lysis production at all, simulation on biological systems shows that such results are impossible. Both addition Fe ions and Ai-2 alone would induce a certain level of lysis production. However when both are available, the lysis protein production would be higher.

In the presence of Ai-2 alone, Lysis will most likely still occur albeit at a slower rate compared to situation when both Fe and Ai-2 are present.

With the addition of iron and Ai-2 together the rate of lysis production is still significantly much higher compared to Ai-2 alone.

Therefore, by giving the logical output ‘1’ as a suitable threshold value of Lysis protein production higher than that of Ai-2 induction alone, we would still be able to obtain an AND gate based on our definition.
