Biochemical Frequency Control by Synchronisation of Coupled Repressilators: An In Silico Study of Modules for Circadian Clock Systems

Figure 3

Time to synchronisation subject to various initial phase shifts. Parameter d i = 0 . 0 1 , , 0 . 1 3 denotes coupling strength from weak to strong coupling. Initial antiphase rhythmicity (phase shift 180°) between both repressilators causes the highest effort to synchronise both oscillatory signals by mutual forcing.
