Biological systems are characterized by their intricate network of interactions among various biomolecules, cells, and tissues. This complexity arises from several factors:
- Multiscale Organization: Biological systems operate at multiple scales, from the molecular level (DNA, proteins) to the cellular and organismal levels. - Dynamic Interactions: The interactions within these systems are highly dynamic, involving feedback mechanisms and regulatory pathways. - Diversity of Components: Thousands of different molecules, including metabolites, lipids, and nucleic acids, interact in specific yet often unpredictable ways.
