Table 6 Examples of representations of biological objects in MIN according to their biological function, either of a catalytic or regulatory nature
From: Incremental and unifying modelling formalism for biological interaction networks
biological object | Role | Model entity |
|---|---|---|
Gene | information storage and propagation | species |
regulatory sequence of DNA | regulation of gene activity | regulatory site |
Protein | catalysis | species |
phosphorylation or cleavage site | regulation of protein activity | regulatory site |
metabolic pathway | transformation of molecules | regulatory site |
receptor on a cell surface ... | detecting environmental state ... | regulatory site ... |
