Output amplification model

First attempt

Is it better to use TEV all the way or HIV1? Modelling should allows us to take decision which design is more efficient. If taken further, it will allow us to determine number of amplification steps that are most favourable.

A
TEV is used at both stages of amplification
A
At each stage of amplification a distinct protease is being used
A
TEV is used at both stages of amplification
A
At each stage of amplification a distinct protease is being used

Second attempt

A
Model improved to account for the enzymes (protease action)

Kinetic constants

Quality GFP TEV split TEV split GFP
Km and Kcat Doesn't apply TEV constants (Km and kcat) 40% of whole TEV Doesn't apply
half-life or degradation rate Half-life of GFP in Bacillus = 1.5 hours - ref. Chris ? ? ?
production rate in B.sub ? ? ? ?
