Abstract

In recent years, considerable progress in knowledge at different fields of life sciences has been occurred and resulted in discovery of important biological pathways associated with human diseases as well as important economic traits in animals. In a reaction mechanism involving many cells that are linked together. Product in each reaction can be used in the next reaction as a reactant and thus metabolic network can be formed. There are same fact about relationships between genes in regulatory networks and the products. Analysis and simulation of metabolic networks is one of the topics discussed in system biology that causes understanding molecular complex relationships in cell. The concept of systems biology is to identify mechanism of cell components or complete being and understanding growth and development paths. The discovery of this mechanism is possible using numerical data and analyzing the interaction of elements involved in the system that makes predicting the characteristics and performance of the components in biological pathways. The basic topics of this knowledge, the study of biochemical pathways and the use of different genomic information in identifying unknown paths and complete it. General purpose systems biology is modeling of biological processes and understanding the processes within cells in respond to changes in the environment. Use this knowledge to the test and characterization of isolated parts of a cell, the cell structure and dynamics of the total available will be checked.
