<!-- This is where you can get creative. Think of a practical application for a genetic input/ output switch that is based on the Lac switch you designed. Perhaps it can generate some useful compound instead of RFP/ GFP? Perhaps you could replace the Lac Repressor/ promoter part with something that binds to a different compound to make a sensor? Type a "10,000 foot" overview of your project below this comment line. What is your project's impact on the world? -->
<!-- In the next paragraph, explain how the IPTG-input/ fluorescent protein-output Lac switch you proposed to build (in Unit 2) serves as a roof-of-concept for the practical application you just described -->

We used a previously published synthetic switch, developed by Ceroni et al., to understand how our system could potentially be modeled and simulated.

We used a model of the natural Lac operon to understand how changing the parameter values changes the behavior of the system.

<!-- Describe summarize how you measured GFP intensities, plotted charts in MatLab, make a curve of best fit, and tried to determine the maximum rate of GFP production. You don't have to include your raw values, just the graphs and equations. You may include some small images of the GFP-expressing yeast. If you didn't get a nice peak, explain how your image analysis might be changed to improve your outcome. -->

A LAC SWITCH MODEL
We used a previously published synthetic switch, developed by Ceroni et al., to understand how our system could potentially be modeled and simulated.


AN INTERACTIVE MODEL
We used a model of the natural Lac operon to understand how changing the parameter values changes the behavior of the system.


COLLECTING IMPERICAL VALUES TO IMPROVE THE MODEL
We explored how one technique, imaging via microscopy could be used to determine the production rate of an output protein, in this case GFP in yeast, could be used to determine a "real" value for maximum GFP production rate under our own laboratory conditions.



Ideally, the GFP production rate measured by this method could be entered as a value for [which parameter] in the Ceroni et al. model.
