摘要: In this essay we illustrate some general principles of mathematical modeling in biology by our experiences studying the molecular regulatory network underlying eukaryotic cell division. We discuss how and why models moved from simple, parsimonious cartoons to more complex, detailed mechanisms with many kinetic parameters. describe mature made surprising informative predictions about control system that were later confirmed experimentally. Along way, comment on ‘parameter estimation problem’ conclude an appeal for a greater role biology.
