Learning Outcomes
Cellular functions (cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis are
dynamical systems.
The notion of a pathway/network is used to represent intracellular interactions.
The mechanisms, feedback loops in particular, determine the dynamic behavior of
the system.
Interaction networks can be modeled as biochemical reaction networks.
Ordinary differential equations are frequently employed to simulate such networks.
More complex networks can be broken down into basic elements, modeled in terms
of elementary reactions.
The vast majority of cellular reactions can be represented as a kind of enzyme
kinetic reaction (facilitated reaction)
