The USNA iGEM project was separated into two main objectives. The first was to create mathematical models that can address the challenges of creating an efficient conotoxin counter measure in the respiratory microbiome, for example the rate of passage of conotoxins through the respiratory mucosa, toxicity, binding affinities of sensors, and respond modules. The mathematical model created over the summer represented a much simpler model of the rate of Potassium and Sodium ion movement through the E. Coli cellular membrane . This model will continue to be adjusted to meet the desired results that are needed to test.
The second objective was to test
