Motivation
- The Prey Construct must control the molecular activity associated with the Prey in the Lotka-Volterra model.
- This part has to interface with the Predator-construct.
- To satisfy the conditions for Lotka-Volterra, this part has to produce the molecular prey exponentially.

Expected behavior and performances
System level specifications| Properties | Specifications | |
|---|---|---|
| Input Range(s) | Input range should be sufficient to produce a detectable output of prey. | |
| Output Range(s) | Output range of the prey should be detectable and sufficient to interact with the predator. | |
| Expected Output | 
To satisfy Lotka-Volterra conditions, our system should produce prey exponentially. | |
| Robustness | Device should work for at least 10 cycles of the oscillator to match system level oscillator specifications. | |
| Variability | Variability at the device population level (day to day, device to device) should be as low as possible. | |
