Calculation of Free Energy Consumption in Gene Transcription with Complex Promoter Structure

Figure 4

(a) Schematic diagram for dual repression structure. represents binding rate, represents dissociation rate, represents transcription rate, represents cooperation binding degree, represents independent binding, and represents cooperation binding. (b) Schematic diagram for dual promotion structure. represents binding rate, represents dissociation rate, and represent transcription rates, where , is the enhancement factor, represents cooperation binding degree, represents independent binding, and represents cooperation binding.
