We modelled cross-talk by fitting Hill-functions to experimental data.  For each quorum sensing module, there are two levels of [https://2014.igem.org/Team:ETH_Zurich/expresults cross-talk]. At the first level, we could have any of the two AHLs binding to a given regulator thus activating the promoter while at the second level there is cross talk between regulators. Thus, for activation of a given promoter, we can have four Hill functions corresponding to the combinations of inducer and regulator interactions. Since, we are using two quorum sensing modules activating two different promoters, we have eight Hill functions.

Since, all the measurements were in terms of fluorescence, the V<sub>max</sub> for each Hill function was also in terms of fluorescence. In order to observe the effect of cross-talk we normalized the V<sub>max</sub> of non native interactions with the V<sub>max</sub> of the native interaction ( LuxR binding to LuxAHL and activating P<sub>Lux</sub>).
