Qualitative analysis of biochemical reaction systems.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The qualitative analysis of biochemical reaction systems is presented. A discrete event systems approach is used to represent and analyze bioreaction pathways. The approach is based on Petri nets, which are particularly suited to modeling stoichiometric transformations, i.e. the inter-conversion of metabolites in fixed proportions. The properties and methods for the analysis of Petri nets, along with their interpretation for biochemical systems, are presented. As an example, the combined glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway of the erythrocyte cell is presented to illustrate the concepts of the methodology.

Modelling Biochemical Reaction Networks with Biocham Extracting Qualitative and Quantitative Information from the Structure
Recent advances in Biology have shown that the amount and heterogeneity of the (post-genomic) data now available call for new techniques able to cope with such input and to build high-level models of the complex systems involved [18]. Arguably two key open issues in this emerging area of Computational Systems Biology concern the integration of qualitative and quantitative models and the revisio...
متن کاملCRNreals: a toolbox for distinguishability and identifiability analysis of biochemical reaction networks
UNLABELLED Chemical reaction network theory is widely used in modeling and analyzing complex biochemical systems such as metabolic networks and cell signalling pathways. Being able to produce all the biologically and chemically important qualitative dynamical features, chemical reaction networks (CRNs) have attracted significant attention in the systems biology community. It is well-known that ...
متن کاملSolutions of weakly reversible chemical reaction networks are bounded and persistent
We present extensions to chemical reaction network theory which are relevant to the analysis of models of biochemical systems. We show that, for positive initial conditions, solutions of a weakly reversible chemical reaction network are bounded and remain in the positive orthant. Thus, weak reversibility implies persistence as conjectured by Martin Feinberg. Our result provides a qualitative cr...
متن کاملMABSys: Modeling and Analysis of Biological Systems
We present the MABSys package which gathers, as much as possible, some functions to carry out the modeling of biochemical reaction networks, their qualitative analysis and the exact simplification of systems of ordinary differential equations. Then we discuss Tyson’s negative feedback oscillator model and the parameters values for which this system oscillates.
متن کاملInferring reaction systems from ordinary differential equations
In Mathematical Biology, many dynamical models of biochemical reaction systems are presented with Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). Once kinetic parameter values are fixed, this simple mathematical formalism completely defines the dynamical behavior of a system of biochemical reactions and provides powerful tools for deterministic simulations, parameter sensitivity analysis, bifurcation an...
