Motivations
- This part is driving the molecular events associated with the Predator in the Lotka-Volterra model.
- This part has to interface with the Prey-construct.
- To satify the Lotka-Volterra dynamic of the predator, this part has to fullfil 3 properties:
- Promote the growth of the predator-molecule according to the prey and predator populations.
- Kill the prey-molecule according to the population of preys and predators
- Enable the natural death of the predator-molecules

Expected behavior and performances
System level specificationsOpen issues
- Getting linear relationship is going to be challenging in a biological system.
- Saturation in the response may have to be taken into account (characterized and defined).
