The Search for System's Parameters: Statistical and Dynamical Description from Complex Network Analysis

Methods Mol Biol. 2024:2745:21-30. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3577-3_2.

Abstract

The integration of physical and biological science styles is the key for facing the deluge of molecular level information that is becoming a real threat for knowledge advancement. In this work, I will indicate a possible integration path based on the network formalization of molecular knowledge by two different (here named flux and dynamical) perspectives. Some theoretical and applicative cases are presented, focusing on the different physical models implicit in the two network analysis approaches.
