Abstract: We study a model of a self-activating species, activating a second species which acts a its own repressor. We zoom into this bistable frustrated unit and focus on the effect that inherent time scales of the underlying scale of this genetic circuit can have on the bifurcation patterns on the coarser scale of proteins. Our analysis illustrates that the common topology of the widely found motif alone does not imply universal features in the dynamics.
