Description

This Model describes the oscillatory change in the concentration of tree repressor proteins. LacI is repressor for the transcription of tetR which in turns is repressor for the transcription of cI, finally cI is repressor for the transcription of LacI closing the cycling. The curated VCell Model reproduces the deterministic simulation obtained in BioModels Database, which in turns does not match with the results obtained in the original publication during the first 400 minutes, due to no specification for the initial conditions were given.
