Sensitivity Analysis of Stochastic Models of Bistable Biochemical Reactions

چکیده
Sensitivity Analysis (SA) provides techniques which can be used to identify the parameters which have the greatest influence on the results obtained from a model. Classical SA methods apply to deterministic simulations of ODE models. We extend these to stochastic simulations and consider the analysis of models with bifurcation points and bistable behaviour. We consider local, global and screening SA methods applied to multiple runs of Gillespie’s Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA). We present an example of stochastic sensitivity analysis of a real pathway, the MAPK signalling pathway.

Steady-state parameter sensitivity in stochastic modeling via trajectory reweighting.
Parameter sensitivity analysis is a powerful tool in the building and analysis of biochemical network models. For stochastic simulations, parameter sensitivity analysis can be computationally expensive, requiring multiple simulations for perturbed values of the parameters. Here, we use trajectory reweighting to derive a method for computing sensitivity coefficients in stochastic simulations wit...
متن کاملLinking Bistable Dynamics to Metabolic P Systems
Bistability, or more generally multistability, is an important recurring theme in biological systems. In particular, the discovery of bistability in signal pathways of genetic networks, prompts strong interest in understanding both the design and function of these networks. Therefore, modelling these systems is crucial to understand their behaviors, and also to analyze and identify characterist...
متن کاملStochastic models for regulatory networks of the genetic toggle switch.
Bistability arises within a wide range of biological systems from the lambda phage switch in bacteria to cellular signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells. Changes in regulatory mechanisms may result in genetic switching in a bistable system. Recently, more and more experimental evidence in the form of bimodal population distributions indicates that noise plays a very important role in t...
متن کاملEfficient Finite-difference Methods for Sensitivity Analysis of Stiff Stochastic Discrete Models of Biochemical Systems
In the study of Systems Biology it is necessary to simulate cellular processes and chemical reactions that comprise biochemical systems. This is achieved through a range of mathematical modeling approaches. Standard methods use deterministic differential equations, but because many biological processes are inherently probabilistic, stochastic models must be used to capture the random fluctuatio...
متن کاملWeak Force Measurement in Bistable Optomechanical System
One of the main milestones in the study of opto-mechanical system is to increase the sensitivity of weak forces measurement up to the standard quantum limit. We have studied the detection of weak force under a bistable condition in red detuned regime. In this case, dynamics of the system behaves asymptotically similar to stationary state and applying external force affects phase and fluctuation...
