New technologies enable acquisition of large data-sets containing genomic, proteomic and metabolic information that describe the state of a cell. These data-sets call for systematic methods enabling relevant information about the inner workings of the cell to be extracted. One important issue at hand is the understanding of the functional interactions between genes, proteins and metabolites. | ềFEBS Journal Identification of small scale biochemical networks based on general type system perturbations Henning Schmidt1 Kwang-Hyun Cho2 3 and Elling W.

These data-sets call for systematic methods enabling relevant information about the inner workings of the cell to be extracted. One important issue at hand is the understanding of the functional interactions between genes proteins and metabolites. We here present a method for identifying the dynamic interactions between biochemical components within the cell in the vicinity of a steady-state. Key features of the proposed method are that it can deal with data obtained under perturbations of any system parameter not only concentrations of specific components and that the direct effect of the perturbations does not need to be known. This is important as concentration perturbations are often difficult to perform in biochemical systems and the specific effects of general type perturbations are usually highly uncertain or unknown. The basis of the method is a linear .
