In biochemical networks, identifying key proteins and protein-protein reactions that regulate fluctuation-driven transitions leading to pathological cellular function is an important challenge. Using large deviation theory, we develop a semianalytical method to determine how changes in protein expression and rate parameters of protein-protein reactions influence the rate of such transitions. Our formulas agree well with computationally costly direct simulations and are consistent with experiment ...[more]
