Many of the equations of enzyme kinetics are also applicable to other saturable biological processes, for example, membrane transport and receptor ligand interactions.
Many researches have demonstrated that homo-oligomerization is an essential function for biological activity and play an important role in a wide range of biological processes, for example, signal transduction, gene expression regulation, enzyme activation and immune response [2 6].
Palindromes are involved in a variety of biological processes, for example acting as recognition sites for bacterial restriction enzymes to cut foreign DNA [2].
These filaments are involved in many biological processes; for example, they help cells keep the right shape, and they help to transport proteins and other materials inside cells.
Proteases are involved in the maturation, localization, stabilization, and complex formation of proteins, and in many biological processes, for example, normal development, cancer, infectious diseases, and cell death.
Many bio-ontologies have too many classes to be practical for defining computational instantiations of biological processes; for example, GO currently contains nearly 35 000 classes.
Finally, the data indicate that the β-cell is different than most cell types in terms of energy metabolism where activation of Ca2+, cAMP, PKB etc signaling promoted by a stimulus drives simultaneously a biological process (for example contraction), and cellular metabolism/ATP production to support it.
This assumption is better satisfied by using data from one biological process, for example, a developmental process.
Second, the pattern of rule profiles in a time series reveals certain properties of the biological process (for example, critical time point for a phase transition or length of a cell cycle).
A functional relationship between two genes indicates that their products are used by the cell to perform a particular biological process (for example, two proteins both participating in the DNA damage response).
No other adjustments were made in the randomization, thus any differences from the random expectation are likely to be caused by a biological process, for example by preferential insertion of TEs into genes that are overexpressed in the brain (which was already noted in the study of Baillie et al. 2011).
