5 What is (comutational) systems biology? Systems biology is an attemt to understand integral systems like cells and whole organisms and their roerties by means of the knowledge from molecular biology. The goal of the comutational aroach is rediction of changes in henotyes from known changes in molecular structures and environmental conditions. The current methods aly a combination of bottom-u techniques like using data from in vitro measurements on isolated molecules and to-down data on time series of gene acitivities and metabolite concentrations from array studies.
