Theoretical Modelling
By GlasgowUni 2011
During our project DISColi, regarding Bio-photolithography in biofilms, we created mathematical models involving T4 endolysin and its rate of diffusion through a biofilm. We are presenting our findings in Figure 1 and Table 1. Also, due to the mode of action of T4 Endolysin the attainable spatial resolution seems to be less than 0.01 mm. For more information, please visit GlasgowUni 2011 Wiki

Table 1. Details on T4 Endolysin
Name of molecule | Length (a.a.) | Molecular weight (g/mol) | Diffusion rate (mm2/min) | Critical concentration (molecules) | Translation rate (molecule/min) | Achieving Critical Concentration (min) |
T4 endolysin | 164 | 18500 | 1.52*10-4 | 3000 | 57.2 | 52 |
