iGEM Warwick 2016 - Modelling

Summary

1) Established a general idea of how our system works (Metal Aptamer sensor and Leptospirosis detector).

2) Constructed useful reaction schemes to represent how our system works.

3) Derived differential equations from reaction scheme using mathematical laws.

4) Estimated reaction constants by reading through related literature and using acquired information to make reasonable estimations.

5) Implemented differential equations with related reaction constants into MATLAB as functions.

6) Produced graphical representations showing fluctuations in molecule number of each species.

7) Devised potential experiments that could be conducted to characterise/parameterise model more accurately.
