Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is a 2015 American dystopian science fiction action thriller film based on James Dashner’s novel The Scorch Trials, the second novel in The Maze Runner book series. After having escaped the Maze, the Gladers now face a new set of challenges on the open roads of a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles.
Transported to a remote fortified outpost, Thomas and his fellow teenage Gladers find themselves in trouble after uncovering a diabolical plot from the mysterious and powerful organization WCKD. In the move, as Mary halts Brenda’s infection using an enzyme cure, Mary explains that the enzyme can only be harvested from an Immune’s body, not manufactured, and that arguments over the methods of manufacturing the cure with Ava lead Mary’s departure from WCKD. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life.
In biology the network of interacting proteins, commonly called the interactome, really consists of enzymes and protein inputs/outputs to the metabolism. If we could remove from the protein-protein interactome the inputs and outputs leaving a connected graph or a time sequence list of the enzymes that participate in cell cycle and cellular manufacturing, then we would essentially have a linear network of cellular manufacturing. If we constructed what is called the edge graph for the linear network, we would have a network of enzymes, or processing machines, as they are used in sequence.
Here, we have been the parallel between cellular manufacturing and systems biology. Since cellular manufacturing networks are completely known we have an opportunity to explore algebraic graph theory and test algebraic and group theory hypothesis on cellular manufacturing networks that are not possible yet with incomplete biological interactomes.
With this new ally – cellular manufacturing, we can help the Gladers to stage a daring escape into the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with dangerous obstacles and crawling with the virus-infected Cranks, since “THE MAZE WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.”
