Finite state machine and Markovian equivalents of the lac Operon in E. coli bacterium

The lac operon in E. coli has been extensively studied by computational biologists. The bacterium uses it to survive in the absence of glucose, utilizing lactose for growth. This paper presents a novel modeling mechanism for the lac operon, transferring the process of lactose metabolism from the cel...
