What is Systems Biology ? • Systems biology is an emergent field that aims at system-level understanding of biological systems. • A quantitative and systematic approach to study biology.
Systems Biology: the 21st Century Science • Systems biology is the study of an organism, viewed as an integrated and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical reactions which give rise to life.Instead of analyzing individual components or aspects of the organism, such as sugar metabolism or a cell nucleus, systems biologists focus on all the components and the interactions among them, all as part of one system.These interactions are ultimately responsible for an organism´s form and functions. For example, the immune system is not the result of a single mechanism or gene. Rather the interactions of numerous genes, proteins, mechanisms and the organism´s external environment, produce immune responses to fight infections and diseases.
What is Systems Biology ? • Systems biology is biology • System biology is modeling • Systems biology is data integration • Systems biology is cross disciplinary
Systems Biology is hot !!! PubMed search by “systems biology”
Is Systems Biology new ? • Systems (holistic) thinking in antiquity • Alfred Lotka, Elements of Physical Biology (1924) • Ludwig von Bertalanffy, The Organism Considered as a Physical System (1940) • Erwin Schrodinger, What is life? with mind and matter and autobiographical sketches. • Warren Weaver, Science and Complexity (1948) • Norbert Wiener, Cybernetics (1948) • Rosen, Yates, Savageau, … (1960’s, 1970’s)
Organism is open, not closed (chemical or physical) system • Dynamic (quasi-) steady state, as opposed to static equilibrium • Fine-tuned coordination of all process rates for steady state • Processes nonlinear • Perturbations and stability • Apparent teleology (vital force) consequence of dynamics • “A quantitative theory of phenomena of life should be possible” • “…even after a full explanation of all individual processes are we as far away from a total understanding of metabolism as the sky is wide.” (cited from Hartmann, 1927; translated)
What is new for Systems Biology ? Demand caused by high-throughput data (microarrays, proteomics, metabolic profiles) Data of higher accuracy Better theory and modeling techniques Better computers “Democratization” of computers Wider recognition that reductionism is not sufficient
High throughput Proteomics experiment Science, Vol 291, Issue 5507, 1221-1224 , 16 February 2001
Systems biology is complex • Large number of components • Diversity of components • Many time scales involved • Large number of process • Nonlinear and feedback of process
What should systems biology cover? • Understanding of system structure • Understanding behaviors of the system • Understanding how to control the system • Understanding how to design the system -- by Hiroaki Kitano 2002
GENOME protein-gene interactions PROTEOME protein-protein interactions METABOLISM Bio-chemical reactions Citrate Cycle
Types of biological network • Genetic regulatory network • Protein-protein interaction network • Metabolic network • Signal transduction network
Systems Biology≈Network Biology≈Molecular Network Biology + Network of Molecular Network Biology

Feature of biological model • Complex: diverse constituents, large system size, selective interaction • Nonlinear: feedback, oscillatory, steady state(fixed point) • Modularity: modular structures system • Robustness
Feature of biological model • Qualitative model: discrete model, Boolean network model, evolution of all initial states • Quantitative model: continuous model, systems of rate equations, stochastic simulation

Sneppen’s model Protein-protein Interaction Network in Yeast Nucleus • There are 198interactions between 123proteins. • The interactions can be divided into two kinds : Positive - Green, Negative - Red. Sneppen’s model
Discrete network dynamics model The states of proteins are defined as: 0 - inactive, 1 - active. The interaction rules: The protein states in the next logic time step are determined by the protein states in the present step. for positive interactions (green arrows); for negative interactions (red arrows)
