Perturbation Dynamic response

•Basic principles

•Practical applications

Global approaches: Systems Biology

Bioinformatics

Mathematical modelling

Simulation

Dynamic Pathway Models

• Forefront of the field of systems biology• Main types

Metabolic networksGene networksSignal transduction networks

• Two types of formalism appearing in the literature:– data mining

e.g. genome expression at gene or protein level contribute to conceptualisations of pathways

– simulations of established conceptualisations

…from pathway interaction and molecular data

…to dynamic models of pathway function

Schoeberl et al., 2002

Dynamic models of cell signalling

Erk1/Erk2 Mapk Signaling pathway

Simulations: Dynamic Pathway Models

• These have recently come to the forefront due to emergence of high-throughput technologies.

• Composed of theorised/validated pathways with kinetic data attached to every connection - this enables one to simulate the change in concentrations of the components of the pathway over time given initial parameters.Schoeberl et al., 2002, Nat. Biotech. 20: 370

Dynamic biochemistry

• Biomolecular interactions• Protein-ligand interactions• Metabolism and signal transduction• Databases and analysis tools

• Metabolic and signalling simulation• Metabolic databases and simulation• Dynamic models of cell signalling

Types of Modelling Methods

• Stochastic approaches– Simple statistics– Bayesian Networks

• Deterministic– Boolean networks

• ODE approach– Iterations in a system

• Classification/Clustering approaches– Support Vector Machines– Neural Networks

• Hybrid Models – mixture of the above Ideker & Lauffenberger, 2003, TiB 21(6): 255-262
