We successfully created an IFFL that utilizes the mf-Lon protease system, an extremely powerful and tunable system, since the degradation rate constant can be tuned by using different strength pdts. We tested the system with short temporal input in the small molecule induced IFFL. We were able to show that IFFLs do indeed function as temporal distinguishers.
