A series of biochemical switches control transitions between and within the various phases of the cell cycle. The cell cycle is a series of complex, ordered, sequential events that control how a single cell divides into two cells, and involves several different phases (growth or G1 and G2, DNA replication or S phase, and the actual process of cell division, mitosis or M phase). These switches maintain the orderly progression of the cell cycle and act as checkpoints to ensure that each phase has been properly completed before progression to the next phase. Such multi-component (involving multiple inter-linked proteins) switches have been shown to generate decisive, robust (and potentially irreversible) transitions and trigger stable oscillations[2]. As a result, they are a subject of active research that tries to understand how such complex properties are wired into biological control systems.
