Why Alpha System Should Work – a deterministic model of alpha system

When modelling our system, we began with the simplest method known – deterministic rate equations. Moreover, from the design it was clear that the most important benchmark for the signal within the system would be the concentration of AHL as a function of time, so we began by modelling this part of our system. It took only a simple derivation (see [1]) to obtain these equations which characterize this part of the system:

(1) (d[mRNALuxI])/(dt) = (vB + vAkA[AHL]2)/(1 + kA[AHL]2) − γmRNALuxI[mRNALuxI] + GateI
