Modelling is a key part of synthetic biology. Some experiments take too long, are far too expensive, or the information required just can’t be found via lab work. This is where modelling comes in. We take information from the biologist, construct a theoretical framework, and then feed back to people in the lab about what they should do. | Modelling is a key part of synthetic biology.

Therefore it is important to come up with a model which can calculate the number of cell and zinc finger binding sites required for a given output. This page discusses this and shows a program designed to dictate concentrations for the biologists to use. |

This wasn't possible with our time frame so we came up with a model which could create a 3D structure from the minimum amount of unique DNA using tetrahedrons as a base to build from. Cells would then be bound to the outside.<br> |
