Cellerator: Simulating Biochemical Networks for Biomedical Research

Cellerator is a system that simulates complex biochemical reaction networks using ODEs. It translates biochemical pictures into ODEs, providing a quantitative understanding. With a GUI and modeling meta-language, Cellerator conducts simulations of cellular activities like cell division. It enables the translation of biochemistry into canonical forms and offers predictions for various biological processes. With applications in diverse fields like myogenesis, plant growth, and leukemia, Cellerator facilitates collaborative research in systems biology and biomedicine.

  1. Cellerator: A System for Simulating Biochemical Reaction Networks Bruce E Shapiro Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology bshapiro@jpl.nasa.gov

  2. Part of a Biochemical Network From: Kohn (1999) Molecular interaction map of the mammalian cell cycle control and DNA repair systems. Mol Biol Cell 10:2703-2734

  3. Biochemical Networks Are... • Complex • Mutually interacting • Large • Number of reactions grows exponentially with number of states • Best understood pictorially • Best described quantitatively by a large system of differential equations (ODEs) Need to translate pictures to ODEs

  4. Online network databases exist ... http://www.genome.ad.jp/kegg/

  5. ... but mathematical simulations of these networks are hopelessly naive...

  6. A B C Input Canonical Form Biochemical Notation Output Canonical Form System of ODEs Activity (e.g., Cell Division) Solver Concentrations vs. Time
