The idea
Systems biology studies whole biological systems, such as a genome or proteome, based on interactions among many components, not one alone.
In practice
Mapping how a network of interacting proteins changes together under one condition is a systems-biology study, not a single-protein study.
Where people slip
Systems biology focuses on the interaction network among many components — it does not replace single-protein studies its findings depend on.
