Abstract: There are two fundamental ways to view coupled systems of chemical equations: as continuous, represented by differential equations whose variables are concentrations, or as discrete, represented by stochastic processes whose variables are numbers of molecules. Although the former is by far more common, systems with very small numbers of molecules are important in some applications (e.g., in small biological cells or in surface processes). In both views, most complicated systems with multiple reaction channels and multiple chemical species cannot be solved analytically. There are exact numerical simulation methods to simulate trajectories of discrete, stochastic systems, (methods that are rigorously equivalent to the Master Equation approach) but these do not scale well to systems with many reaction pathways. This paper presents the Next Reaction Method, an exact algorithm to simulate coupled chemical reactions that is also efficient: it (a) uses only a single random number per simulation event, and (b) ...

Discrete-continuous reaction-diffusion model with mobile point-like sources and sinks
TL;DR: A stochastic-deterministic discrete-continuous reaction-diffusion model with mobile sources and sinks is constructed and it is suggested that using a higher amount of less active enzymes, as compared to fewer more active enzyme, reduces the metabolite pool size and correspondingly the lag time, giving rise to a faster response to external stimuli.

State and parameter estimation from exact partial state observation in stochastic reaction networks
Muruhan Rathinam,Mingkai Yu +1 more
TL;DR: The conditional probability distribution of the unobserved states is shown to satisfy a system of differential equations with jumps and the algorithm can be adapted for a Bayesian estimation of parameters and for the estimation of a past state value based on observations up to a future time.
