5. Analysis of feed forward loops


Design principles

  • The C1-FFL with AND logic has an on-delay, but no off-delay.

  • The C1-FFL with OR logic has an off-delay, but no on-delay.

  • The C1-FFL with both AND and OR logic can filter out short input impulses.

  • The I1-FFL with AND logic is a pulse generator and also speeds response compared to an unregulated circuit.

Concept

  • When multiple factors regulate a single gene, we need to specify the logic of the regulation, usually OR or AND.
