In nature, biological circuits are robust, which means that their function is insensitive to natural fluctuations in their components. Many engineered circuits can perform a given function, but very few can perform robustly in cells. | In nature, biological circuits are robust, which means that their function is insensitive to natural fluctuations in their components.

Membrane computing specifically looks at bacterial communication that happens outside the cell, while matlab-based modelling concentrates on characterizing and optimizing the compatibility of the signalling system. In hope, these two models can provide a greater understanding of the pathway and emphasize the complexities that are linked with systems biology. |
