Modeling is a powerful tool in synthetic biology. It provides us with a necessary engineering approach to characterize our pathways quantitatively and predict their performance,thus help us test and modify our design.Through the dynamic model of heavy-metal detection biosensor,we hope to gain insights into the characteristics of our whole circuit's dynamics.

At the beginning, on the plasmid#1, the promoter $P_{arsR}$ isn't bound with ArsR,thus it is active.ArsR and smURFP are transcribed and translated under the control of the promoters $P_{arsR_{u}}$ and $P_{arsR_{d}}$,with subscript u and d representing upstream and downstream separately.The subscript l of smURFP in the equation means leaky expression without the expression of $As^{3+}$.As ArsR is expressed gradually,it will bind with the promoter $P_{arsR}$ and make it inactive.[1]
