Biochemical Networks

Biochemical networks are intricate systems of interactions between molecules within biological organisms. These networks include proteins, enzymes, genes, and metabolites that work together to carry out essential life processes. Think of them as a city's transportation system, where roads (molecular pathways) connect various destinations (cellular functions) to ensure everything runs smoothly. Disruptions in these networks can lead to diseases or malfunctions, much like a traffic jam can halt a city's operations. Understanding these networks helps scientists uncover how living organisms function and develop treatments for various conditions.
