Pcb Model
PCB sensor model
Introduction
After considering the water flux and pollutant motions in our sponge, we investigated the sensing power of
our PCB construction.
We first modelled the behaviour of GFP production regarding PCB absorption to determine if our sensing strategy was viable.
Model description
According to our device, GFP production is controlled by BphR1 promoter.This promoter is induced by the BphR2-PCB complex.
Thus our GFP production will depend on the dynamic of BphR2-PCB complex.
We used a simple description of the GFP production.
