Excerpt: Mathematical models are fashionable in systems biology, but there is a
world of difference between a model and a theorem. When researchers build
models, they make assumptions about a specific experimental setting and have to
choose values for rate constants and other parameters. A theorem, by contrast,
can apply to a setting of arbitrary molecular complexity, such as a biochemical
network with many components. In a recent study, Shinar and Feinberg (1)
formulate a theorem that shows when such biochemical networks exhibit "absolute
concentration robustness."
