Contingency Table

Contingency Table

A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

The Two-State Receptor Model

The Two-State Receptor Model

The two-state receptor model explains a drug's interaction with receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels, to induce or inhibit a biological response. When no natural ligands are present, a receptor exists in an equilibrium of inactive (Ri) and active (Ra) conformations. The inactive form does not produce a response, while the active form generates a basal effect known as constitutive activity.
The binding affinity of a drug determines its interaction with one...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence of...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model

The two-compartment model divides the body into central and peripheral compartments to account for varying blood perfusion rates among organs and tissues, affecting drug distribution. The central compartment includes blood and highly perfused tissues with rapid drug distribution, while the peripheral compartment contains tissues with slower drug distribution. After a single IV bolus dose, the drug concentration is high in plasma and low in tissues. The drug distribution between compartments...

Background:

Intracellular signalling networks are complex, making large-scale mathematical modeling challenging.
Traditional Boolean models simplify activation, losing context and distinguishing roles of components.
This limitation hinders accurate representation of signaling pathway dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel bipartite Boolean modelling approach for intracellular signaling networks.
To retain contextual activation information lost in conventional Boolean models.
To enable more accurate and detailed mathematical modeling of complex biological systems.

Main Methods:

Introduced a bipartite Boolean modeling strategy using state-oriented approach with separate update rules.
Incorporated reaction and contingency-based rules to preserve contextual activation.
Integrated the approach within the rxncon framework for automated model generation and validation.

Main Results:

The bipartite Boolean model successfully retains contextual activation information.
Demonstrated the ability to distinguish distinct signals passing through a single component.
Validated the approach using the yeast MAP kinase network, showing functional network description with minor adjustments.

Conclusions:

Presented a bipartite Boolean modeling approach that preserves contextual activation information.
Developed software for automated model generation, visualization, and simulation.
Showcased iterative model generation and validation capabilities for biological networks.
