'''Figure 5.15''': Stability of a genetic switch. The circuit diagram in (a) [not shown here] represents two proteins that are each repressing the production of the other. The inputs u1 and u2 interfere with this repression, allowing the circuit dynamics to be modified. The equilibrium points for this circuit can be determined by the intersection of the two curves shown in (b).

# Figure 5.15: Stability of a genetic switch. The circuit diagram in (a)
# represents two proteins that are each repressing the production of the

# can be determined by the intersection of the two curves shown in (b).

# Figure 5.16: Dynamics of a genetic switch. The phase portrait on the left
# shows that the switch has three equilibrium points, corresponding to
# protein A having a concentration greater than, equal to, or less than
# protein B. The equilibrium point with equal protein concentrations is
# unstable, but the other equilibrium points are stable. The simulation on
# the right shows the time response of the system starting from two
# different initial conditions. The initial portion of the curve
# corresponds to initial concentrations z(0) = (1, 5) and converges to the
# equilibrium point where z1e < z2e. At time t = 10, the concentrations are
# perturbed by +2 in z1 and −2 in z2, moving the state into the region of
# the state space whose solutions converge to the equilibrium point where
# z2e < z1e.
