Overview - Kinetic Model

I In our system we exploit a commonly applied control system known as an Incoherent Feed Forward Loop (iFFL), in which an activator regulates both a gene and a repressor of the gene ... . This control system is established through the expression of a Transcription activator-like effector (TALE) protein. TALE proteins recognize DNA by a simple DNA-binding mechanism which can be altered to recognize any sequence you want … . In our system the TALE protein binds to the promoter of a gene of interest and thus respresses the expression of it. .... has previously described this system and showed how it results in independence of copy number for a gene of interest.
