  27. metabolism assembly transport Fragile and hard to change Variety of consumers Variety of producers Energy carriers

  28. metabolism assembly transport • Preserved by selection on three levels: • Fragile to change (short term) • Facilitates robustness elsewhere (short term) • Facilitates evolution (long term) Variety of consumers Variety of producers Energy carriers

  29. Modules and protocols • Much confusion surrounds these terms • Biologists already understand the important distinction • Most of basic sciences doesn’t

  30. Modules and protocols in experiments • Modules: components of experiments • Protocols: rules or recipes by which the modules interact • This generalizes to most important situations • Important distinction in experiments • Even more important in understanding the complexity of biological networks

  31. Modules and protocols example • Suppose some specific experimental protocol has a step that requires the use of a PCR machine module. • The PCR machine in turn implements a complex protocol with its own modules. • Thus protocols and modules are hierarchically nested. • A nested collection of protocols/modules is called an architecture or protocol suite.

  32. Modules and protocols example • Consider this laptop/projector combination. • The modules include software, hardware, and connectors. • The protocols are the rules by which these modules must interact. • Hardware modules change between talks • Within talks slides change, not hardware • Robust and “evolvable” yet fragile

  33. Modules and protocols example • Consider this laptop/projector combination. • The modules include software, hardware, and connectors. • The protocols are the rules by which these modules must interact. • Hardware modules change between talks • Within talks slides change, not hardware • Robust and “evolvable” yet fragile

  35. Early computing Software Hardware Various functionality Digital Analog substrate

  36. Applications Software Hardware Modern Computing Operating System Hardware

  37. Applications Software Hardware Modern Computing Operating System Hardware

  38. Modules and protocols • Protocols and modules are complementary (dual) notions • Primitive technologies = modules are more important than protocols • Advanced technologies = protocols are at least as important • Even bacteria are “advanced technology”

  39. Reductionism and protocols • Reductionism = modules are more important than protocols • Usually: “Huh? What’s a protocol?” • Systems approach: Protocols are as important as modules

  40. Necessity or “frozen accident”? • Laws are absolute necessity. • Conjecture: Protocols in biology are largely necessary. (More so than in engineering!) • Modules??? Appear to be more of a mix of necessity and accident.

  41. Necessity or “frozen accident”? • Conservation laws are necessary. • Bowtie protocols are essentially necessary if robustness and efficiency are required. • Conjecture: It is necessary that there is an energy carrier, it may not be necessary that it be ATP.

  42. Conjectures on laws and protocols • The important laws governing biological complexity have yet to be fully articulated • Biology has highly organized dynamics using protocol suites • Both are true for advanced technologies

  43. Nested bowtie and hourglass Polymerization and assembly Core metabolism Conservation of energy and moiety is a law. Taxis and transport Enzymes are modules. “Bowtie architectures” is a protocol. Autocatalytic and regulatory feedback
