Cooperativity in biological systems
Living organisms can sense and respond to external and internal stimuli. Response isdemonstrated in many forms including modulation of gene expression profiles, motility,secretion, cell death, etc. Nevertheless, all forms share a basic property: they depend on sensingsmall changes in the concentration of an effector molecule or subtle conformational changes ina protein and invoking the appropri...
متن کاملModeling delayed processes in biological systems.
Delayed processes are ubiquitous in biological systems and are often characterized by delay differential equations (DDEs) and their extension to include stochastic effects. DDEs do not explicitly incorporate intermediate states associated with a delayed process but instead use an estimated average delay time. In an effort to examine the validity of this approach, we study systems with significa...
متن کاملComputing of Transport Processes in Biological Systems
Flow and thermal transport processes have a vital function in the functioning and operation of many biological and bio-medical systems. In such systems, diagnostic procedures or experiments are often difficult to perform, and reliable numerical simulations can provide great value in our understanding of the functioning of the biological system and in designing suitable diagnostic and treatment ...
متن کاملSemiotic modelling of biological processes: semiotic systems
General abstract: Here we introduce biosemiotics as a field of research that develops models of life processes focusing on their informational aspects. Peirce’s general concept of semiosis can be used to analyze such processes, and provide a powerful basis for understanding the emergence of meaning in living systems, by contributing to the construction of a theory of biological information. Pei...
متن کاملTopological augmentation to infer hidden processes in biological systems
MOTIVATION A common problem in understanding a biochemical system is to infer its correct structure or topology. This topology consists of all relevant state variables-usually molecules and their interactions. Here we present a method called topological augmentation to infer this structure in a statistically rigorous and systematic way from prior knowledge and experimental data. RESULTS Topol...
