Result:

To have a dropdown for your own team copy over all of the content below. It might be needed to adjust a thing or two. Comments have been added throughout the code what must be changed.

Inspirational websites:

  • [http://javascript-array.com/scripts/simple_drop_down_menu/ Most basic dropdown menu, with no submenu's]
  • [http://jquery.com/ The javascript library used to add effects and optimise the dropdown]
  • [http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/centering-a-dropdown-menu/ How to center a ul list effectively]

The dropdown has been created and developed by the KULeuven team.

Cell Death

Position in the system

The Cell Death subsystem receives input from two other subsystems, namely:

LuxR is the component repressing the regulation of CcdB, the toxic product causing cell death. There the LuxR production is constitutive, no protein controls the gene regulation of LuxR, but the amount of LuxR available to repress the transcripion of the CcdB gene is controlled by HSL (Homoserine lactone).

If the inverter subsystem produces HSL (occurs when no light is detectable), this will forms a complex with LuxR. This will diminish the amount of LuxR available to repress the CcdB transcription and initiate cell death. When waiting long enough the amount of HSL becomes critical.

If however the pulse generator becomes active (by the filter), it will produce a pulse of lactonase, which will then bind to the HSL, reacting to an hydroxy-acid. As opposed to HSL, this hydroxy-acid will no longer form a complex with LuxR. This increase in LuxR lowers the CcdB production. The challenge is to generate a pulse of lactonase high enough to neutralise all HSL present in the cell.
