Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Pharmacodynamic Models: Link Model and Systems Pharmacodynamic Model

Pharmacodynamic Models: Link Model and Systems Pharmacodynamic Model

The link model is a fundamental pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) approach to account for delayed drug responses when the observed effect does not immediately correlate with the drug's plasma concentration peak. This delay is mathematically addressed by introducing an effect compartment concentration, Ce, which is kinetically linked to the plasma concentration, Cp, via a first-order rate constant, ke0. The linkage allows for a more accurate prediction of drug effects over time. A higher...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Two-Compartment Open Model: Overview

Two-Compartment Open Model: Overview

Multicompartmental models are crucial tools in pharmacokinetics, providing a framework to understand how drugs move within the body. The two-compartment model is a crucial subtype, segmenting the body into central and peripheral compartments. The central compartment represents areas with high blood flow, such as plasma and highly perfused organs like the kidneys and liver, while the peripheral compartment signifies tissues with lower blood flow, like adipose tissue and muscle tissue.
The...

Multicompartment Models: Overview

Multicompartment Models: Overview

Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...

Area of Science:

Systems Biology
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

A vast, interconnected network of Systems Biology knowledge exists online, encompassing diverse data types like pathways, reactions, and literature.
Existing data sets are often disparate, posing challenges for integrated analysis and application.
The need for structured representations to facilitate data visualization and modeling is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss methods for transforming extensive Systems Biology knowledge networks into practical representations (views).
To demonstrate how these views can be utilized for effective data visualization and computational modeling.
To present a framework for creating and employing views that abstract complexity while preserving essential information.

Main Methods:

Developing methods to create and utilize 'views' from interconnected Systems Biology data.
Implementing techniques to hide irrelevant details without significant data loss or distortion.
Leveraging the Systems Biological Pathway Exchange (SBPAX) bridging ontology within the Systems Biology Linker (SyBiL) framework.

Main Results:

Demonstrated that views can represent substances and processes as sets of compounds and events, respectively.
Showcased the ability to represent specializations and generalizations as subset and superset relationships within views.
Validated the compatibility of the view-based approach with existing Systems Biology data structures.

Conclusions:

The developed view-based approach offers a powerful method for organizing and utilizing complex Systems Biology knowledge.
Systems Biology Linker (SyBiL) and SBPAX provide a robust implementation for creating and managing these knowledge views.
This approach enhances data visualization, modeling, and model annotation in Systems Biology research.
