  15. Modeling : questions to be solved Protein half life time I. dilution sufficient? PEST? II. APC degradation motif time frame of activity? III. Promoter construction sA/cA/R expression strength? N° of operator repetitions? same operator for A and R?

  16. Modeling: promoter construction One-operator system: Two-operator system: TATA TATA A:R = 1:0 A:R = 1:1 A:R = 1:2 A:R = 1:3 A:R = 1:0 A:R = 1:1 A:R = 1:2 A:R = 1:3
