The finding and researching algorithm for potentially oscillating enzymatic systems

Many processes in living organisms are subject to periodic oscillations at different hierarchical levels of their organization: from molecular-genetic to population and ecological. Oscillatory processes are responsible for cell cycles in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, for circadian rhythms, for synchronous coupling of respiration with cardiac contractions, etc. Fluctuations in the numbers of organisms in natural populations can be caused by the populations’ own properties, their age structure, and ecological relationships with other species. Along with experimental approaches, mathematical and computer modeling is widely used to study oscillating biological systems. This paper presents classical mathematical models that describe oscillatory behavior in biological systems. Methods for the search for oscillatory molecular-genetic systems are presented by the example of their special case – oscillatory enzymatic systems. Factors influencing the cyclic dynamics in living systems, typical not only of the molecular-genetic level, but of higher levels of organization as well, are considered. Application of different ways to describe gene networks for modeling oscillatory molecular-genetic systems is considered, where the most important factor for the emergence of cyclic behavior is the presence of feedback. Techniques for finding potentially oscillatory enzymatic systems are presented. Using the method described in the article, we present and analyze, in a step-by-step manner, first the structural models (graphs) of gene networks and then the reconstruction of the mathematical models and computational experiments with them. Structural models are ideally suited for the tasks of an automatic search for potential oscillating contours (linked subgraphs), whose structure can correspond to the mathematical model of the molecular-genetic system that demonstrates oscillatory behavior in dynamics. At the same time, it is the numerical study of mathematical models for the selected contours that makes it possible to confirm the presence of stable limit cycles in them. As an example of application of the technology, a network of 300 metabolic reactions of the bacterium Escherichia coli was analyzed using mathematical and computer modeling tools. In particular, oscillatory behavior was shown for a loop whose reactions are part of the tryptophan biosynthesis pathway.
