Decreasing cooperativity in C dimer binding to CR promoter. The cooperativity in binding ω is gradually abolished from the very high value corresponding to wt AhdI [6] to ω corresponding to the absence of the binding cooperativity. We predict the effect of this decrease on: a The dynamics of R protein synthesis, where the black line corresponds to the high ω, the light gray to no cooperativity, and the values of cooperativity in-between are shown in different shades of gray. b The stability of R steady-state levels, corresponding to different ω values shown in a
