Situational Modeling: Defining Molecular Roles in Biochemical Pathways and Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Central to a coherent understanding of cellular biology is a faithful representation of biochemical processes as it pertains to its molecular participants. Current representations underspecify our knowledge because they fail to indicate the roles of the molecular components during relevant processes. Here, we describe a knowledge representation using OWL2 that overcomes previous limitations in modeling biochemical events and has clear implications for the accurate functional/role based annotation of molecular components.

Molecular and biochemical protective roles of sodium nitroprusside in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) under salt stress
Salinity stresses act as inhibitor factors of plant growth. They can change the physiological characteristics and limit the production of crops. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is a stable free radical which use as a signalling molecule in plants and participates in various plant’s physiological, biochemical and molecular processes and also in plant’s responses to environmental stresses. We investig...
متن کاملThe Highlighted Roles of Metabolic and Cellular Response to Stress Pathways Engaged in Circulating hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 in Alzheimer’s Disease
Background: Among different roles of miRNAs in AD pathogenesis, hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 functions are poorly understood. Methods: To obtain the gene targets, gene networks, gene ontology, and enrichment analysis of the two miRNAs, some web servers were utilized. Furthermore, the expressions of these miRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR in 36 blood sera, including 18 Alzheimer’s patients and 1...
متن کاملDifferential genes expression analysis of invasive aspergillosis: a bioinformatics study based on mRNA/microRNA
Invasive aspergillosis is a severe opportunistic infection with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. Recently, the roles of microRNAs have been taken into consideration in the immune system and inflammatory responses. Using bioinformatics approaches, we aimed to study the microRNAs related to invasive aspergillosis to understand the molecular pathways involved in the disease pathogenes...
متن کاملEpigenetic: A missing paradigm in cellular and molecular pathways of sulfur mustard lung: a prospective and comparative study
Sulfur mustard (SM, bis- (2-chloroethyl) sulphide) is a chemical warfare agent that causes DNA alkylation, protein modification and membrane damage. SM can trigger several molecular pathways involved in inflammation and oxidative stress, which cause cell necrosis and apoptosis, and loss of cells integrity and function. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a growing research topic and is ...
متن کاملBiochemical specialization within Arabidopsis RNA silencing pathways.
In plants, the RNA silencing machinery responds to numerous inputs, including viral infection, microRNAs, and endogenous siRNAs that may act both in trans and in cis. Additionally, the full spectrum of silencing outcomes has been demonstrated in plants, ranging from mRNA degradation to repression at the level of protein synthesis to chromatin remodeling. Genetic studies in Arabidopsis have indi...
