Cellular Dynamics From A Computational Chemistry Perspective Hong Qian Department of Applied Mathematics University of Washington
The current state of affair of cell biology:(1) Genomics: A,T,G,C symbols(2) Biochemistry: molecules
Experimental molecular genetics defines the state(s) of a cell by their “transcription pattern” via expression level (i.e., RNA microarray).
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.
But biologists define the state(s) of a cell by its phenotype(s)!
How does computational biology define the biological phenotype(s) of a cell in terms of the biochemical copy numbers of proteins?

The Stochastic Nature of Chemical Reactions • Single-molecule measurements • Relevance to cellular biology: small copy # • Kramers’ theory for unimolecular reaction rate in terms of diffusion process (1940) • Delbrück’s theory of stochastic chemical reaction in terms of birth-death process (1940)

The Kramers’ theory and the CME clearly marked the domains of two areas of chemical research: (1) The computation of the rate constant of a chemical reaction based on the molecular structures, energy landscapes, and the solvent environment; and (2) the prediction of the dynamic behavior of a chemical reaction network, assuming that the rate constants are known for each and every reaction in the system.

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?
