The outcomes of these chemical reactions are often stochastic due to intrinsic and extrinsic noise leading to population heterogeneity. The majority of calculations of stochasticity in reaction networks have focused on small regulatory networks addressing the role of timescales, feedback regulations, and network topology in propagation of noise. Here we computationally investigated chemical noise in a network with democratic architecture where each node is regulated by all other nodes in the network. We studied the effects of the qualitative and quantitative nature of mutual interactions on the propagation of both intrinsic and extrinsic noise in the network. We show that an increased number of inhibitory signals lead to ultrasensitive switching of average and that leads to sharp transition of intrinsic noise. The intrinsic noise exhibits a biphasic power-law scaling with the average, and the scaling coefficients strongly correlate with the strength of inhibitory signal. The noise strength critically depends on the strength of the interactions, where negative interactions attenuate both intrinsic and extrinsic noise. date: 2020-04-17 date_type: published publisher: AMER PHYSICAL SOC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.101.042407 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2024888 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.101.042407 medium: Print lyricists_name: Das, Soutrick lyricists_id: SDASA22 actors_name: Das, Soutrick actors_id: SDASA22 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: EMR/2015/001899 [Science and Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology (India)]; [INSPIRE program of the Department of Science and Technology, India] full_text_status: public publication: Physical Review E volume: 101 number: 4 article_number: 042407 pages: 14 event_location: United States issn: 2470-0045 citation: Das, Soutrick; Bulk, Debashis; (2020) Qualitative and quantitative nature of mutual interactions dictate chemical noise in a democratic reaction network.
