MODELING

Module 1

1.1) Transcription rate of AraC, assuming the diffusion rate of arabinose across the cell is constant

1.2) Transcription rate of CI repressor; pBAD as positive inducible promoter

1.3) Transcription rate of Cas protein

Module 2

2.1) Transcription rate of trpR, assuming the diffusion rate of tryptophan across the cell is constant

2.2) Transcription rate of sgRNA

2.3) Target DNA (dnaE gene) cleavage efficiency by cas-sgRNA complex
