Combinatorial Complexity Presents Problems for Models
• Signaling proteins have multiple “sites” and many “states”
• Each combination is a different species that requires its own differential equation

How to Quantify the Control Exerted by a Signal over a Target?
System Response: the sensitivity (R) of the target T to a change in the signal S
System response equals the PRODUCT of local responses for a linear cascade:
