Next to that, using the oscillating system, it would be possible to look at rates of interaction between genes. Imagine that gene B is regulated by gene A, which is oscillating. If the interaction speed between A & B would be extremely fast, it might be possible that gene B starts oscillating together with gene A. There should be a delay however. By looking at this delay and the resulting pattern of gene B, conclusions can be drawn about the rate of interaction between both genes. | Next to that, using the oscillating system, it would be possible to look at rates of interaction between genes.

- | The oscillatory system could also be used in industrial applications. One hypothetical application involves ranging enzyme concentrations. If for example a particular protein is manufactured by carrying out two different reactions in separate tanks by using an organism with an over-expressed enzyme A in tank 1 and another strain with over-expressed enzyme B in tank 2, the same follow-up of reactions can be carried out in 1 tank using | + | The oscillatory system could also be used in industrial applications.

For example, a particular subset of enzymes can be produced in an oscillating manner so that the product is exposed to high concentration of enzyme A at a certain time point and a high concentration of enzyme B at another time point. This way the efficiency of such a process could be increased. | For example, a particular subset of enzymes can be produced in an oscillating manner so that the product is exposed to high concentration of enzyme A at a certain time point and a high concentration of enzyme B at another time point.
