Modeling predicts entrainment and amplitude control of light-switchable system

This reasoning chain integrates kinetic simulations and empirical measurements to explain how the mathematical model enables predictive control of gene expression amplitude and period in yeast using light. It also addresses the separation between amplitude effects (affected by luciferase stability) and event timing (robust to instability), providing a basis for system use as a gene circuit entrainment tool.
