 Circuit diagrams for biological networks : Article : Molecular Systems Biology
However, depicting the molecular networks involved in signaling pathways that regulate cell function have proven challenging, due to the enormous amount of information that needs to be conveyed for each participant in the network and the cross-connections between pathways.
The trade-off is that molecular species that engage in multiple reactions have to be represented multiple times, which can make it difficult to survey the full set of interactions of a given molecular species.
The authors discuss the complementarity between process diagrams and 'entity-relationship diagrams', such as the molecular interaction maps that they refer to as 'Kohn diagrams' (Kohn, 1999, 2001, 2005).
