Stochastic interactions between models and experiments • to test and evaluate the structure of the assumed intracellular interactions with the pathways • to identify inconsistent hypotheses and design experiments to clarify the properties of signalling pathways • to provide advanced interpretation of the experimental data • to developed an integrative model of fimbriation should lead to deterministic conclusions
