This paper addresses the decomposition of biochemical networks into functional modules that preserve their dynamic properties upon interconnection with other modules, which permits the inference of network behavior from the properties of its constituent modules. The modular decomposition method developed here also has the property that any changes in the parameters of a chemical reaction only affect the dynamics of a single module. To illustrate our results, we define and analyze a few key…

Quantification of Interactions between Dynamic Cellular Network Functionalities by Cascaded Layering
TLDR
This paper presents a framework for simulating the contribution of any given functional subsystem when integrated together with one or more other subsystems through a cascaded layering of a network into functional subsystems, where each layer is defined by an appropriate subset of the reactions.
Large-scale layered systems and synthetic biology: model reduction and decomposition
TLDR
The framework of Structured Storage Functions (SSF), defined where systems admit a cascaded decomposition, is described and a significant resulting speed-up of large-scale dissipativity problems is demonstrated, with applications to the trajectory comparison technique discussed above.

Towards modularity in biological networks while avoiding retroactivity
TLDR
A method is proposed to divide a particular family of gene regulatory networks into “modules” that are functionally isolated from each other, so that the behavior of a composite network of two or more modules can be predicted from the input-output characteristics of the individual modules.
Automatic decomposition of kinetic models of signaling networks minimizing the retroactivity among modules
TLDR
A novel method to decompose biochemical networks into modules so that the bidirectional (retroactive) couplings among the modules are minimized and can help to analyze large networks, especially when little a priori knowledge on the structure of the network is available.
Modular analysis of signal transduction networks
TLDR
The mechanisms that cells have developed to process information are described, and the decomposition of signalling networks into subsystems is discussed, and some simple criteria for the analysis of the resulting units are introduced.
Graph theory and qualitative analysis of reaction networks
TLDR
This paper discusses how reaction networks can be described and analysed by graph theoretic means, and how to incorporate sufficient dynamical information in the network structure, in order to obtain meaningful results.
Modular response analysis of cellular regulatory networks.
TLDR
The approach is illustrated by two examples: mitogenic signalling through the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade in the epidermal growth factor receptor network and regulation of ammonium assimilation in Escherichia coli.
Network motifs: simple building blocks of complex networks.
TLDR
Network motifs, patterns of interconnections occurring in complex networks at numbers that are significantly higher than those in randomized networks, are defined and may define universal classes of networks.
Inference of signaling and gene regulatory networks by steady-state perturbation experiments: structure and accuracy.
Untangling the wires: A strategy to trace functional interactions in signaling and gene networks
TLDR
A quantitative method for determining functional interactions in cellular signaling and gene networks that can be used to explore cell systems at a mechanistic level or applied within a “modular” framework, which dramatically decreases the number of variables to be assayed.
A passivity-based stability criterion for a class of biochemical reaction networks.
This paper presents a stability test for a class of interconnected nonlinear systems motivated by biochemical reaction networks. The main result determines global asymptotic stability of the network…
