	Systems Biology Creates Opportunities in Drug Discovery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		System biology encompasses many different approaches and models for probing and understanding biological complexity, and studies of many organisms from bacteria to man. The three principal approaches focus on quantitative systems biology; systems biology modeling and integration of omics data.
		With systems biology, the whole structure of the biological molecule can be predicted at an early stage of research and allows researchers to manipulate drug structure and eventual outcome at an earlier stage of discovery.
		Systems biology should become an integral part of drug discovery as systems biology aims to describe and to understand the operation of complex biological systems and to develop predictive models of human disease.

	Systems Biology
		Systems biology is the study of biological organisms as functional systems, and is based on the premise that to understand an organism is to understand the relations and interactions that take place between its cells, proteins and genes.
		It is the scientific equivalent of the expression, “the sum of all parts is still less than the whole”, and for this reason it is theoretically opposed to molecular biology.
		Systems biology is a new science, one that has developed thanks to the information that the Human Genome Project’s successful completion made available.

		Proteomics and other complementary analysis methods are essential components of the emerging 'systems biology' approach that seeks to comprehensively describe biological systems through integration of diverse types of data and, in the future, to ultimately allow computational simulations of complex biological systems.
		The vasoactive response of the vascular system as a whole is what determines the rate of blood flow through the system, but this is regulated by a multitude of factors in different regions of the vascular network.

	Institute for Systems Biology: Systems Biology -- the 21st Century Science
		Systems biology is the study of an organism, viewed as an integrated and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical reactions which give rise to life.
		Systems biology emerged as the result of the genetics "catalog" provided by the Human Genome project, and a growing understanding of how genes and their resulting proteins give rise to biological form and function.
		The study of systems biology has been aided by the ease with which the internet allows researchers to store and distribute massive amounts of information, plus advances in powerful new research technologies, and the infusion of scientists from other disciplines, e.g.

	Systems biology: the picture Environmental Health Perspectives - Find Articles
		But the functioning of even a simple system such as a single yeast cell or bacterium is much more complicated than the sum of its genes or proteins or metabolites; it's the activity of all those components and their relationships to one another that add up to a living organism.
		Recognizing that complexity, the emerging field of systems biology attempts to harness the power of mathematics, engineering, and computer science to analyze and integrate data from all the "omics" and ultimately create working models of entire biological systems.
		The term "systems biology" was first used in the 1960s, when theoretical biologists began creating computer-run mathematical models of biological systems.

	The Science Creative Quarterly » SYSTEMS BIOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW
		Systems Biology incorporates the study of the structure and dynamics of various systems in order to determine robustness.
		The Systems Biology approach starts with the definition of the structure of the system under study (the structure of the overall network, be it composed of genes, proteins, metabolites, etc.).
		The overall Systems Biology methodology includes the formulation of a model once the components of the system have been defined, followed by the systematical perturbation (either genetically or environmentally) and monitoring of the system.

		Imaginable hazards associated with synthetic biology include (a) the accidental release of an unintentionally harmful organism or system, (b) the purposeful design and release of an intentionally harmful organism or system, (c) a future over-reliance on our ability to design and maintain engineered biological systems in an otherwise natural world.

	Systems Biology
		Systems biology is the study of the interactions between the components of a biological system, and how these interactions give rise to the function and behavior of that system (for example, the enzymes and metabolites in a metabolic pathway).
		The systems biology approach is characterised by a cycle of theory, computational modelling and experiment to quantitatively describe cells or cell processes.
		The systems biology approach often involves the development of mechanistic models, such as the reconstruction of dynamic systems from the quantitative properties of their elementary building blocks.

	Systems Biology
		This coincidence of terms makes systems theory the logical choice for biology's partner for the new approach, even though there are differences in the exact meaning that they assign those terms.
		Currently, systems biology is in some sort of orientation phase, familiarizing itself with the new vocabulary and working on building the relations between the new range of systematic properties and the old body of knowledge about the basic constituting elements.
		This would also coincide nicely with the concept of systems in systems theory (system, modularity), where scientists think in terms of classes of systems, defined by a certain set of common characteristics, which can be handled by a common set of methods.

		The approach known as systems biology is where this convergence will happen, although there's not yet consensus on what systems biology actually is. As so often happens when a new term is coming into vogue, it means different things to different people.
		Systems biology has been called a return to hypothesis-based research and a repudiation of discovery- or data-driven research, in which it was thought that computational tools would yield answers simply by mining large quantities of data.
		Another part of the project is the Systems Biology Workbench, which is intended to foster the reuse of software and to allow people to build upon what has already been created.
