Algorithmic Models of Biochemical Dynamics: MP Grammars Synthetizing Complex Oscillators

Abstract

The paper presents the main ideas about MP grammars, a discrete formalism for describing and deducing dynamical systems, that combines ideas from formal language theory (P systems), recurrent equations, linear algebra and statistical regression. In this framework, some synthetic oscillators are presented which illustrate, in a simple manner, the expressive power of MP grammars in the analysis of interesting phenomena that are crucial in biochemical and biological contexts.
