Figure 10From: Stochastic simulations of the tetracycline operonImpact of changing the affinity of TetR2 for the operators on Tc and TetA amounts. Average maximum number of TetA (Figure 10a) and Tc (Figure 10b) molecules for a range of administered Tc in the wild type (wt) system, as well as in systems where the affinity of TetR2 for the operators is 10, 50 and 100 times lower than the nominal value. Decreased affinity of TetR2 for the operator sites leads to high TetA and low Tc amounts in the cell.Back to article page
