Modeling Static Biological Compartments with Beta-binders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the modeling of biological systems with static compartments through Beta-binders, a recently developed process calculus. Biological entities are represented as bio-processes and the calculus is extended with the notion of compartment. Entities can either be internal to compartments or reside on compartment borders. Movement in and out of compartments is requested by internal objects and mediated by border objects. The extended calculus is equipped with the notion of locality, and various kinds of relations between actions are defined. Moreover, we compare our proposal with similar formalisms and we show how to use the proposed calculus for modeling and analyzing the cAMP-signaling pathway in OSNs.

A Control Flow Analysis for Beta-binders with and without static compartments
We introduce a Control Flow Analysis, that statically approximates the dynamic behaviour of processes, expressed in the Beta-binders calculus and in an extended version of the calculus modelling static compartments. Our analysis of a system is able to describe the essential behaviour of each box, tracking all the possible bindings of variables, all the possible intraand inter-boxes communicatio...

متن کاملBeta - binders for biological quantitative experiments 1
This paper focuses on Beta-binders, a language of processes with typed interaction sites which has been recently introduced to represent biological entities. Here the syntax and semantics of Beta-binders are enriched to achieve a stochastic version of it, in order to obtain quantitative measures on biological phenomena. The relevance of quantitative reasoning is outlined running a biological ex...
متن کاملA Parallel Beta-binders Simulator
Beta-binders is a comparatively new modeling formalism introduced for systems biology. To execute Beta-binders models, suitable simulators are required which translate the operational semantics of Beta-binders into a sound and efficient execution. Efficiency can be reached by parallel and distributed simulation and by a proper representation of models to ensure a fast manipulation. Both possibi...
متن کاملBeta-binders with Biological Transactions
In this work we propose an extension of Beta-binders with biological transactions, called TBeta-binders, in order to model a sequence of elementary actions atomically. This extension is useful when we need to specify multi-reactant multi-product reactions or when we use a sequence of actions to represent a single biological interaction. Some properties of these transactions are reported. Finall...
