Dissociation constant for IPTG to LacI 1200 molecules
per cell
Aberdeen 2009 wiki
Dissociation constant for LacI to LacO (pLac) 700 molecules
per cell
Aberdeen 2009 wiki
Dissociation constant for T7 RNA polymerase to pT7 10 molecules
per cell
We used the classic assumption 1nM=1 molecule per cell and [1]
Translation rate of proteins 0.9 s-1 Estimated, see the justification
Dilution rate in exponential phase 2.88x10-4 s-1 Calculated with a 40 min generation time. See explanation
Degradation rate of mRNA 2.88x10-3 s-1 Uri Alon (To Be Confirmed)
Degradation rate of GFP 10-4 s-1 BioNumbers
Degradation rate of RFP 10-4 s-1 Estimated equal to GFP degradation rate
Delay due tT7 RNA polymerase production and maturation 300 s [2]
Delay due GFP production and maturation 360 s BioNumbers
Delay due RFP production and maturation 360 s Estimated equal to GFP delay (similar molecules)
Delay due to mRNA production 30 s BioNumbers with an approximation: all our contructs are around 1-2kb
