Objective

By testing how LacI represses the lac promoter, Hill coefficient of lac promoter should be decided. In order to adjust effective concentration of LacI, IPTG was added.

Result & Conclusion

GFP fluorescence intensity was enhanced in an IPTG-dose dependent manner. It indicates that the LacI repression was getting weak by adding IPTG. Taken together with the graph shown in figure 1 and the formulation of Hill function fitting described above, the characteristics of the lac promoter expressed in Hill function was determined.
