For our testing, we will examine the relationship between the level of concentration of the chemical compound toulene and the level of fluorescence. The fluorescence from DH5α cells harboring the constructed biobrick with the xylr protein will be measured at various concentrations of toluene.

<!-- 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. -->

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


For tuning our system, we hope to make it more effective by increasing the efficiency of the ribosome binding site. The RBS controls the accuracy and efficiency with which the translation of mRNA begins. Therefore, we hope to use this important variable to tune our system.

Testing: Modeling and GFP Imaging


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.
