- | Because the promoters on a "low copy plasmid" exists in the cell in ten exemplaries, in contrary to a protein, which, as long as it is produced (even weakly) exists in thousands of exemplaries, we can the quantities of ''TF'' and ''P'' are different by several orders of magnitude.

- | Depending to the order ''' ''n'' '' (also called ''cooperativity'', because it correponds to the possibilities of the transcription factor to binds in a group on the promoter), this function is a ''sigmoïd'', known as the ''Hill function''. The parameter ''' ''K'' ''', called ''activation constant'', is often replaced in the previous expression by the following notation | + | Depending to the order ''' ''n'' ''' (also called ''cooperativity'', because it correponds to the possibilities of the transcription factor to binds in a group on the promoter), this function is a ''sigmoïd'', known as the ''Hill function''.
