Mathematical modelling
Simulation
Dynamic Pathway Models
• Forefront of the field of systems biology• Main types
Metabolic networksGene networksSignal transduction networks
• Two types of formalism appearing in the literature:– data mining
e.g. genome expression at gene or protein level contribute to conceptualisations of pathways
– simulations of established conceptualisations
…from pathway interaction and molecular data
…to dynamic models of pathway function
Schoeberl et al., 2002
Dynamic models of cell signalling
Erk1/Erk2 Mapk Signaling pathway
Simulations: Dynamic Pathway Models
• These have recently come to the forefront due to emergence of high-throughput technologies.
• Composed of theorised/validated pathways with kinetic data attached to every connection - this enables one to simulate the change in concentrations of the components of the pathway over time given initial parameters.Schoeberl et al., 2002, Nat. Biotech. 20: 370

Dynamic biochemistry
• Biomolecular interactions• Protein-ligand interactions• Metabolism and signal transduction• Databases and analysis tools
• Metabolic and signalling simulation• Metabolic databases and simulation• Dynamic models of cell signalling
Types of Modelling Methods
• Stochastic approaches– Simple statistics– Bayesian Networks
• Deterministic– Boolean networks
• ODE approach– Iterations in a system
• Classification/Clustering approaches– Support Vector Machines– Neural Networks
• Hybrid Models – mixture of the above Ideker & Lauffenberger, 2003, TiB 21(6): 255-262
