Networks?
Many different components A variety of interactions
The cell is not regular
Systems Biology Data on system level Methods and focus shift Asking for statistical physics
Not a lattice!
System as a whole:network!
Networks in life
Genetic regulation Protein-protein interactions Food webs Neuron networks
Biology
Networks in life
Metabolic pathways
Networks in life
Do these networks haveanything in common
???
Degree distribution
Not random networks!
Proteininteractions
Metabolic networks
Food webs
Clustering
Clustering coefficient
Modular organization protein complexes regulatory modules pathways
High average in real networks Scale-free model: C ~ (ln N) 2/N
Module hierarchy
Hierarchical model
Modular And Scale-free?
Hierarchy in Biology
Protein-protein interaction Regulatory networks
