What will be the “Equation” for the computational Cell Biology?
Biochemistry defines the state(s) of a cell via concentrations of metabolites and copy numbers of proteins.
Protein Copy Numbers in Yeast Ghaemmaghami, S. et. al. (2003) “Global analysis of protein expression in yeast”, Nature, 425, 737-741.
Metabolites Levels in Tomato Roessner-Tunali et. al. (2003) “Metabolic profiling of transgenic tomato plants …”, Plant Physiology, 133, 84-99.
We outline a mathematical theory to define cellular state(s), in terms of its metabolites concentrations and protein copy numbers, based on biochemical reaction networks structures.

Traditional theory for chemical reaction systems is based on the law of mass-action and expressed in terms of ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
The New Stochastic Theory of Chemical and Biochemical Reaction Systems based on Birth-Death Processes that Include Concentration Fluctuations and Applicable to small chemical systems such as a cell.
k1 X+Y Z The Basic Markovian Assumption: The chemical reaction contain nX molecules of type X and nY molecules of type Y. X and Y associate to form Z. In a small time interval of Dt, any one particular unbonded X will react with any one particular unbonded Y with probability k1Dt + o(Dt), where k1 is the reaction rate.

An analogy to an electronic circuit in a radio If one uses a voltage meter to measure a node in the circuit, one would obtain a time varying voltage. Should this time-varying behavior be considered noise, or signal? If one is lucky and finds the signal being correlated with the audio broadcasting, one would conclude that the time varying voltage is in fact the signal, not noise. But what if there is no apparent correlation with the audio sound?
