### Title: Molecular Regulation of the Eve Stripe 2 Protein Expression in Embryogenesis

---
### Introduction:

This page provides a detailed explanation of a regulatory model that outlines step-by-step events leading to the expression of the Eve stripe 2 protein in biological embryos. The model builds on the initial expression of the Bicoid protein and maps out the interactions and concentrations of various regulatory proteins along the embryo.

---
### Key Regulatory Proteins:

1. **Bicoid Protein**:
   - Bicoid is one of the primary regulatory proteins involved in determining the anterior-posterior axis in embryos.

2. **Giant Protein**:
   - Giant protein acts as a repressor or activator depending on its concentration and position along the embryo.

3. **Hunchback Protein**:
   - This protein also plays a crucial role in segmental patterning and functions primarily as a regulator along with Bicoid.

4. **Krüppel Protein**:
   - Another essential factor in segment specification, Krüppel protein influences the expression patterns of target genes.

---
### Graphical Representation:

The accompanying graph visualizes the concentration gradients of these key regulatory proteins along the embryo, correlated with the position and consequent expression of the Eve stripe 2 protein.

#### Graph Details:

1. **Y-axis (Vertical)** - Represents the concentration of regulatory proteins.
2. **X-axis (Horizontal)** - Denotes the position along the embryo.
3. **Curves/Gradients** - Each curve indicates the concentration levels of a specific protein along the embryonic axis.

- **Bicoid Protein Curve**:
  - Indicated by a thick solid line starting high on the left and tapering to the right.
  
- **Giant Protein Curve**:
  - Dashed line primarily peaking towards the middle and decreasing on both ends.
  
- **Hunchback Protein Curve**:
  - A continuous solid line that rises quickly from the left, peaks, and then decreases towards the right.
  
- **Krüppel Protein Curve**:
  - Exhibits a curve starting low, rising to a peak, and then dropping off towards the right end.

- **Eve Stripe 2 Protein Expression**:
  - The shaded area indicates the region where the Eve stripe 2 protein is expressed, influenced by the interplay of the regulatory proteins.

### Model Explanation:

1. **Initial Step: Bicoid Activation**
   - The model begins with Bico
