Engineered temperature compensation in a synthetic genetic clock.
Synthetic biology promises to revolutionize biotechnology by providing the means to reengineer and reprogram cellular regulatory mechanisms. However, synthetic gene circuits are often unreliable, as changes to environmental conditions can fundamentally alter a circuit's behavior. One way to improve robustness is to use intrinsic properties of transcription factors within the circuit to buffer a...
متن کاملTemperature compensation and temperature sensation in the circadian clock.
All known circadian clocks have an endogenous period that is remarkably insensitive to temperature, a property known as temperature compensation, while at the same time being readily entrained by a diurnal temperature oscillation. Although temperature compensation and entrainment are defining features of circadian clocks, their mechanisms remain poorly understood. Most models presume that multi...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms Regulating Temperature Compensation of the Circadian Clock
An approximately 24-h biological timekeeping mechanism called the circadian clock is present in virtually all light-sensitive organisms from cyanobacteria to humans. The clock system regulates our sleep-wake cycle, feeding-fasting, hormonal secretion, body temperature, and many other physiological functions. Signals from the master circadian oscillator entrain peripheral clocks using a variety ...
متن کاملImproving Sensor Node Clock Accuracy Through Temperature Compensation
In this paper, we present a method to significantly reduce sensor node clock drift by utilizing the on-board temperature sensor found within a node’s microcontroller. We characterize the relationship between temperature and oscillator frequency, then create a clock drift model using this characterization. The model is then installed into a TinyOS virtual timer component. We show that this modif...
متن کاملA Temperature Compensation Voltage Controlled Oscillator Using a Complementary to Absolute Temperature Voltage Reference
This paper presents a temperature compensation voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on Cross-Coupled pair and Colpitts structures which is suitable for military fields. Also, two inductors have been used for increasing the negative conductance. By using this method, start-up condition has been improved. Two varactors and a simple capacitor bank are applied for covering a wide tunning range...
