Ligand concentration, Q = 2 molecules/cell or 2.66×10-2 nM

Total number of promoters per gene, PT = 2

Avogadro’s number: 6.02*1023 molecules/mole

Assumed cell volume: 125 μm3/cell = 125*10-18 m3/cell = 1.25*10-13 Liters/cell since 1M = 1 mole/Liter, 1 cell/ (molecule*minute) = 1.2542*109 1/ (M*sec)
