Metabolic network destruction: Relating topology to robustness
Biological networks exhibit intriguing topological properties such as small-worldness. In this paper, we investigate whether the topology of a particular type of biological network, ametabolic network, is related to its robustness.Wedo so byperturbing ametabolic system in silico, one reaction at a time and studying the correlations between growth, as predicted by flux balance analysis, and a nu...
متن کاملNetwork Robustness and Graph Topology
Two important recent trends in military and civilian communications have been the increasing tendency to base operations around an internal network, and the increasing threats to communications infrastructure. This combination of factors makes it important to study the robustness of network topologies. We use graph-theoretic concepts of connectivity to do this, and argue that node connectivity ...

متن کاملOnion-like network topology enhances robustness against malicious attacks
We develop a method to generate robust networks against malicious attacks, as well as to substantially improve the robustness of a given network by swapping edges and keeping the degree distribution fixed. The method, based on persistence of the size of the largest cluster during attacks, was applied to several types of networks with broad degree distributions, including a real network—the Inte...
متن کاملTopology and Robustness in the Drosophila Segment Polarity Network
A complex hierarchy of genetic interactions converts a single-celled Drosophila melanogaster egg into a multicellular embryo with 14 segments. Previously, von Dassow et al. reported that a mathematical model of the genetic interactions that defined the polarity of segments (the segment polarity network) was robust (von Dassow et al. 2000). As quantitative information about the system was unavai...
