1.1 Degree distribution vs. scale-free networks Degree distribution p(k) : the occurrence frequency of nodes with degree k, (k=1,2,…). Barabasi, A.L., Albert, R., Emergence of scaling in random networks, Science, 1999, 286:509-512
BA model for network evolution: (1) Growth: the continuous addition of new nodes. (2) Preferential attachment: “the rich get richer” principle. • The high-degree nodes should appear in the earlier stage of network formation. Thirteen hub metabolites in E.coli metabolic network Wagner, A., Fell, D.A., The small world inside large metabolic networks, Proc R Soc Lond B, 2001, 268:1803-1810.
Performance of scale-free networks: error tolerance: high resistance to random perturbations attack vulnerability : the removal of a few hub nodes will destroy the whole network. =>The most highly connected proteins in the cell are the most important for its survival.

1.2 Clustering coefficient vs. Hierarchical modular networks
Ravasz E, Somera A L, Mongru D A, Oltvai Z N, Barabasi A L, Hierarchical organization of modularity in metabolic networks, Science,2002,297: 1551-1556
Complex systems usually have a hierarchical structure, the entities of one level being compounded into new entities at the next higher lever, as cells into tissues, tissues into organs, and organs into functional systems. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts! At each new level of complexity in biology new and unexpected qualities appear, qualities which apparently cannot be reduced to the properties of the component parts.

Correlation profiles of protein interaction network in yeast. Z-scores for connectivity correlations : Z(K0,K1) = (P(K0,K1) − Pr(K0,K1))/r(K0,K1) where r(K0,K1) is the standard deviation of Pr(K0,K1) in 1000 realizations of a randomized network.

1.6 k-core 1, 2 and 3-core. Two basic properties of cores: first, cores may be disconnected subgraphs; second, cores are nested: for i>j, an i-core is a subgraph of a j-core of the same graph. => The probability of nodes both being essential and evolutionary conserved successively increases toward the innermost cores.

1.7 Betweenness centrality Betweenness centrality is based on the assumption that information is transmitted along shortest paths. Node betweenness : the number of shortest paths between pairs of nodes that run along this node. Edge betweenness: the number of shortest paths between pairs of nodes that run along this edge. => Nodes and edges of high betweenness centrality could be bottlenecks of the network, thus could be important enzymes or metabolites.

II. Modularity and network decomposition Zhao J, Yu H, Luo J, Cao Z, Li Y: Complex networks theory for analyzing metabolic networks. Chinese Science Bulletin 2006, 51(13):1529-1537.
2.1 Modularity: From functional view: Modularity: the system can be decomposed in parts (modules), such that the function of each part is more complex than a basic combination of the input to a new output. From topological view: Assumption: A densely connected subnetwork "part with complex function." Modularity: network could be divided into groups of vertices that have a high density of edges within them, with a lower density of edges between groups. Hartwell LH, Hopfield JJ, Leibler S, Murray AW: From molecular to modular cell biology. Nature 1999, 402:C47-C52. Papin JA, Reed JL, Palsson BO: Hierarchical thinking in network biology: the unbiased modularization of biochemical networks ,Trends in Biochemical Sciences 2004, 29:641-647.
For a given decomposition of a network, the modularity metric is defined as: The modularity metric of a network is defined as the largest modularity metric of all possible partitions of the network. The modularity of networks must always be compared to the null case of a random graph. Newman M: Detecting community structure in networks EurPhysJB 2004, 38:321-330.

2.2 Simulated annealing method: Guimera R, Nunes Amaral LA: Functional cartography of complex metabolic networks. Nature 2005, 433(7028):895-900.
2.3 Hierarchical clustering method: Similarity index(or dissimilarity index): to signify the extent to which two nodes would like in the same cluster. Agglomerative method: to start off with each node being its own cluster. At each step, it combines the two most similar clusters to form a new larger cluster until all nodes have been combined into one cluster. Divisive method: to begin with one cluster including all the nodes, and attempts to find the splitting point at which two clusters are as dissimilar as possible.
Topological overlap algorithm: Substrate graph Jn(i,j) denotes the number of nodes to which both i and j are linked ( plus 1 if there is a direct link between i and j ); ki, kjis the degree of i and j, respectively. Agglomerative method. Ravasz E, Somera AL, Mongru DA, Oltvai ZN, Barabasi AL: Hierarchical Organization of Modularity in Metabolic Networks. Science 2002, 297(5586):1551-1555
Shortest path algorithm: enzyme graph d(i, j) is the number of arcs in the shortest directed path from i to j . Agglomerative method.

Betweenness method: substrate-enzyme bipartite graph is the number of shortest paths between s and t that passes through r, is the total number of shortest paths between s and t, is the in-degree of node r. Divisive method. Holme P, Huss M, Jeong H: Subnetwork hierarchies of biochemical pathways. Bioinformatics 2003, 19(4):532-538.
Corrected Euclidean-like dissimilarity algorithm: substrate graph d(i, j) is the number of arcs in the shortest directed path from i to j . Agglomerative method. Zhao J, Yu H, Luo J, Cao Z, Li Y: Hierarchical modularity of nested bow-ties in metabolic networks. BMC Bioinformatics 2006:7:386.
2.4 Relationship between topological modules and functional modules Case 1: some modules are dominated by one major category of metabolisms Zhao J, Yu H, Luo J, Cao Z, Li Y: Hierarchical modularity of nested bow-ties in metabolic networks. BMC Bioinformatics 2006:7:386.
Case 2 : A standard textbook pathway can break into several modules.
Case 3 : Some modules are mixtures of pieces of several conventional biochemical pathways.
III. Topological diversity of networks with a given degree sequence --Degree sequence tells us few things
