Biological modelling / Biomodélisation Modeling operon dynamics: the tryptophan and lactose operons as paradigms

Abstract

Abstract Understanding the regulation of gene control networks and their ensuing dynamics will be a critical component in the understanding of the mountain of genomic data being currently collected. This paper reviews recent mathematical modeling work on the tryptophan and lactose operons which are, respectively, the classical paradigms for repressible and inducible operons
