TIME DELAY EFFECTS ON OSCILLATORY SIGNALSIN GENETIC REPRESSILATORS WITH TWO PROMOTERS

摘要

We investigate the dynamics of 2 promoters controlled genes in a repressing periodic(plasmid) cascade. It is shown that for plasmids having these type of genes the protein production ispropagating in an oscillatory way depending on the delay time involved between transcription andtranslation. Biological implications are discussed.
