ODE and Random Boolean networks in application to modelling of 6-mercaptopurine metabolism
We consider two approaches to modelling of cell metabolism of 6-mercaptopurine, which is one of the important chemotherapy drugs used for treating of acute lymphocytic leukemia: kinetic ordinary differential equations and random Boolean networks, and analyse their interplay with respect to taking into account ATP concentration as a key parameter of switching between different pathways. It is shown that Boolean networks, which allow for avoiding complexity of general kinetic modelling, preserve an opportunity to the reproduction of the principal switching mechanism. To keep a detailed quantitative measure of the control parameter, a combined Boolean-ODE method is proposed.

Boolean models of the transport, synthesis, and metabolism of tryptophan in Escherichia Coli
The tryptophan (trp) operon in E. coli codes for the proteins responsible for the synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan from chorismic acid, and has been one of the most well-studied gene networks since its discovery in…
Modelling the order of driver mutations and metabolic mutations as structures in cancer dynamics
Recent works have stressed the important role that random mutations have in the development of cancer phenotype. We challenge this current view by means of bioinformatic data analysis and computational modelling approach…

Refining Boolean models with the partial most permissive scheme
Motivation: In systems biology, modelling strategies aim to decode how molecular components interact to generate dynamical behaviour. Boolean modelling is more and more used, but the description of the dynamics from two-…
Balancing the cellular budget: lessons in metabolism from microbes to cancer
Cancer cells are often seen to prefer glycolytic metabolism over oxidative phosphorylation even in the presence of oxygen-a phenomenon termed the Warburg effect. Despite significant strides in the decades since its disco…
