Abstract

In this chapter basic mathematical methods for the deterministic kinetic modeling of biochemical systems are described. Mathematical analysis methods, the respective algorithms, and appropriate tools and resources, as well as established standards for data exchange, model representations and definitions are presented. The methods comprise time-course simulations, steady state search, parameter scanning, and metabolic control analysis among others. An application is demonstrated using a test case model that describes parts of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway and a small example network demonstrates an implementation of metabolic control analysis.

Cognitive Learning Through Knowledge Visualization, Art, and the Geometry of Nature
Topology is the study of mathematical spaces and geometric configurations that stem from their shape independently from their deformation. Arguably, many mention Leonard Euler's “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg Problem” as among the first topological theorems.
