 <!-- Add more about the biology of this part here
 ===Usage and Biology===
+This construct functions as an AND gate. It is designed to work only when BOTH inputs are present.
+The LuxR promoter is activated only in the presence of LuxR-AHL complex, which binds to the promoter and activates transcription.
+The other part requires absence of the Lac Repressor protein. Lac repressor is inhibited in presence of lactose or IPTG.
+Thus this GATE will be turned ON only when both LuxR-AHL complex AND Lactose (IPTG) are present. IF only LuxR-AHL complex is present, the Lac Repressor will remain bound to the binding site, preventing further transcription.
