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) ...

Determining cluster-cluster aggregation rate kernals using inverse methods
Peter P. Jones
- 01 Jul 2013
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the potential of inverse methods for retrieving adequate information about the rate kernel functions of cluster-cluster aggregation processes from mass density distribution data, and propose a new nonlinear inverse method, based upon a novel factorisation of homogeneous kernels, whose properties are assessed in respect of both stationary and scaling mass distribution data inputs.

Simulation of signal transduction pathways
Marco Weismüller
- 23 Jul 2004
TL;DR: This thesis focuses on intracellular signalling, i.e. receiving some kind of stimuli from outside, integrating this information with the state of the cell, and passing this information into the nucleus to regulate gene expression by transcription factors as the response to the stimulus.
