Chemical models of genetic toggle switches.
We study by mean-field analysis and stochastic simulations chemical models for genetic toggle switches formed from pairs of genes that mutually repress each other. To determine the stability of the genetic switches, we make a connection with reactive flux theory and transition state theory. The switch stability is characterized by a well-defined lifetime tau. We find that tau grows exponentiall...
متن کاملUsing Toggle Maps to Manipulate Sets of Toggle Switches
A toggle map is a set of toggle switches that allows the manipulation of several switches with a single mouse drag interaction. Because toggles switches are functionally equivalent to black and white pixels interaction techniques from paint programs can be adopted for this task. A controlled experiment shows that toggle maps can speed up interfaces containing many toggle switches such as the in...
متن کاملNoise in Genetic Toggle Switch Models
In this paper we study the intrinsic noise effect on the switching behavior of a simple genetic circuit corresponding to the genetic toggle switch model. The numerical results obtained from a noisy mean-field model are compared to those obtained from the stochastic Gillespie simulation of the corresponding system of chemical reactions. Our results show that by using a two step reaction approach...
متن کاملStochastic models for regulatory networks of the genetic toggle switch.
Bistability arises within a wide range of biological systems from the lambda phage switch in bacteria to cellular signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells. Changes in regulatory mechanisms may result in genetic switching in a bistable system. Recently, more and more experimental evidence in the form of bimodal population distributions indicates that noise plays a very important role in t...
متن کاملRheostats and Toggle Switches for Modulating Protein Function
The millions of protein sequences generated by genomics are expected to transform protein engineering and personalized medicine. To achieve these goals, tools for predicting outcomes of amino acid changes must be improved. Currently, advances are hampered by insufficient experimental data about nonconserved amino acid positions. Since the property "nonconserved" is identified using a sequence a...
