Document Summary
Importing these processes into a computer so we can predict and combine: regulation, transcriptional, translational, post translational, sensing: cells react to senses, chemical, light, force, communication: downstream regulatory processes, small molecules, proteins, viruses, physical, motility, growth, transport. Synthetic biology definition: connect various elements (regulatory, sensory, etc. ) in a reliable, predictable way and program a cell to function as a system. Program a cell to incorporate all elements in a predictable way. What happens if we have mutations though: can use this to do studies later. Hierarchy and modular organization: processes embedded in cell (organelles, tissues: bunch of cells together, organs, organ system, organism. A mutation in the fundamental process can result in physiological change (in phenotype) Any small change can result in a change in the organisms (organism to ecosystem hierarchy) Similar to engineering, we can examine a cell and its modifications: proteins, genes, biochemical reactions, induced by differences in gene (expression, pathways, pool of biochemical reactions, cells, tissues.
