A dynamic logic method was developed to analyze molecular networks of cells by combining Kauffman and Thomas's logic operations with molecular interaction parameters. The logic operations characterize the discrete interactions between biological components. The interaction parameters (e.g. response times) describe the quantitative kinetics. The combination of the two quantitatively characterizes the discrete biological interactions. A number of simple networks were analyzed. The main results include: we proved the theorems to determine bistable states and oscillation behaviors of networks, we showed that time delays are essential for oscillation structures, we proved that single variable networks do not have chaotic behaviors, and we explained why one signal can have multiply responses. In addition, we applied the present method to the analysis of the MAPK cascade, feed-forward loops, and mitosis cycle of budding yeast cells.
