tranzicionin
Tranzicionin is a term used in theoretical and synthetic biology to denote a hypothetical regulatory protein that controls transitions between distinct cellular or physiological states. The name combines transition with the -in suffix common to signaling molecules.
Conceptually, tranzicionin is envisioned as a modular molecule with an input-sensing domain that detects transition-inducing signals
Discovery and status: Tranzicionin was introduced in theoretical frameworks and in synthetic biology circuit design as
Molecular characteristics in simulations vary, but typical features include multiple post-translational modification sites, a promoter-interaction domain,
Significance: As a modeling concept, tranzicionin helps researchers investigate how graded inputs can produce abrupt transitions,
