Systems Biology and Structure-Based Protein Networks

Why it is important to know this material? The systems theory application to biology allows the cutting-edge understanding of biological mechanisms. The network approach to biomolecular systems analysis provides unique knowledge about the molecular machinery behind life. What is the key idea? The key idea is to recognize that interconnections between elements in a biological system play a key role in the system behavior. What is necessary to know already? It is necessary to have a general knowledge about systems theory, with a special regards to complex network theory and graph algebra.
