Abstract: | In this paper, we develop a new methodology to analyze and design periodic oscillators of biological networks, in particular
gene regulatory networks with multiple genes, proteins and time delays, by using negative cyclic feedback systems. We show
that negative cyclic feedback networks have no stable equilibria but stable periodic orbits when certain conditions are satisfied.
Specifically, we first prove the basic properties of the biological networks composed of cyclic feedback loops, and then extend
our results to general cyclic feedback network with less restriction, thereby making our theoretical analysis and design of
oscillators easy to implement, even for large-scale systems. Finally, we use one circadian network formed by a period protein
(PER) and per mRNA, and one biologically plausible synthetic gene network, to demonstrate the theoretical results. Since there is less
restriction on the network structure, the results of this paper can be expected to apply to a wide variety of areas on modelling,
analyzing and designing of biological systems. |
