<p>The maximum transcription rate is used instead of the basal transcription rate under the assumption that inducible promoters should not present significant basal activity and that repressible promoters are active at this maximum rate in the absence of an inhibitor. The maximum transcription rate was calculated according to the Team Beijing iGEM 2009 (<a href="https://2008.igem.org/Team:KULeuven/Model/Inverter">https://2009.igem.org/Team:PKU_Beijing/Modeling/Parameters</a>).</p>

<p>This general form represents an hypothetical gene, whose transcription is affected by an inhibitor I and an activator A.

Modelling
Overview

We decided to follow a deterministic approach for the mathematical representation of our genetic circuits. The simulations were made using MATLAB’s Simulink, according to the following general expressions for the genetic inhibition and activation elements present in the ODE systems. These expressions were adapted from Mendes, P, et al., (2003).

The effect of an inhibitor was modeled as follows:
