<h2> Where is Grenoble? </h2>

-
Grenoble, the flattest city in France, is surrounded by mountains: Chartreuse, Belledonne and Vercors. Moreover, it is dominated by the Bastille, a military fort from the 19th century, accessible by cable-car since 1934. Drac and Isère flow through the city and it’s often called “capital of Alps”.

City of Grenoble exists for 2000 years. The first reference dates from 43 BC, as Cularo, a little Gallic village. In 379 AD, the town is renamed Gratianopolis (Romans), and Relics of the great wall dated from 3th century are always visible. Grenoble become the capital of the Dauphiné (because the emblem representing dolphins,”dauphin” in French).

This year, Grenoble is the second student city in France, 15% of 65.000 students are foreigners and has been classed in top 200 of Shanghai ranking (159th). There are University Joseph Fourier (sciences), and several great schools (“grandes écoles”), as Grenoble-INP (engineering school). Moreover, Universities Pierre Mendès-France (law) and Stendhal (foreign language, literature...) are in the campus since 1970.

Grenoble is a great European scientific centre (“French Silicon Valley”), in research (2nd in France, after Paris) and high technologies, with national research organisations (CEA, CNRS or INRIA), and international research organisations (EMBL, ILL). Moreover, presence of ESRF (financed by 12 European countries since 1994), one of the three most important synchrotrons in a world, confirm this idea. High technologies are based on - Digital and software pole (micro and nanotechnologies (scientific complex Minatec (2006), first European complex and third in a world), computer science and electronic)

<h2>City of sport</h2>

As Grenoble is surrounded by mountains, different sports are developed importantly, like skiing, backpacking or climbing. This advantage permit organisation of 1968 Olympics Winter Games and a lot of facilities are still used actually. Actually, several sports teams exist, especially the GF38 (soccer), the FCG (rugby), and the “Brûleurs de Loups” (ice hockey).For regular sports manifestations, rugby or soccer match, they are played in the Stade des Alpes (open in 2008). In addition, every year since 1971, the 6 days of Grenoble (six jours cyclistes de Grenoble), a track cycling race where great names of cyclism prove theirself, is organised. The Criterium du Dauphiné, organised since 1947, sometimes the Tour de France, passes through Grenoble (this year, Grenoble has been a ville-étape (“stage town”).

The Toggle Switch

The Toggle Switch allows our bacterial strain to switch between one of the two different behaviors (Receiver or Sender) depending on the predominant concentration in the external medium: IPTG or Hg.

We take into account two proteins repressing (LacI/MerR) each other's expression (pLac/pMerT). We create the fundaments of a toggle system that can switch when using two inducers in the medium: IPTG and Hg.

Initially, both genes, MerR and LacI, are expressed repressing each other promoters: pLac and pMerT.

On the plate where Hg concentration is the uppermost, this inducer will remove the repression exerted on pMerT promoter. So, the LacI proteins will be expressed and by repressing the promoter pLac, LacI proteins are shutting down the other pathway of the toggle.

Inversely, where IPTG concentration is the uppermost, the other pathway will be activated.

This toggle switch is one of our module of modelling. The simulation obtained with this model are compared to the experiment here.
