Model Structure

In 1999 Upinder S. Bhalla and Ravi Iyengar published a paper discussing the emergent properties of signalling pathway networks. To develop these networks, they modelled individual pathways and compared those results to previously published results before combining the individual pathways to create networks. They only used mechanisms that had already been experimentally described when making connections between pathways. One of the pathways they model involves adenylyl cyclases 1/8 and 2 (see below).

The complete original paper reference is cited below:

Emergent properties of networks of biological signaling pathways. Bhalla US, Iyengar R. Science 1999 Jan 15; 283(5400); 381-7. (The full text of the article is available to members on the Science website.) PubMed ID: 9888852

The raw CellML description of the adenylyl cyclase pathway model can be downloaded in various formats as described in . For an example of a more complete documentation of another real reaction pathway, see The Bhalla Iyengar EGF Pathway Model, 1999.
