Chemical reaction systems with toric steady states.

چکیده
Mass-action chemical reaction systems are frequently used in computational biology. The corresponding polynomial dynamical systems are often large (consisting of tens or even hundreds of ordinary differential equations) and poorly parameterized (due to noisy measurement data and a small number of data points and repetitions). Therefore, it is often difficult to establish the existence of (positive) steady states or to determine whether more complicated phenomena such as multistationarity exist. If, however, the steady state ideal of the system is a binomial ideal, then we show that these questions can be answered easily. The focus of this work is on systems with this property, and we say that such systems have toric steady states. Our main result gives sufficient conditions for a chemical reaction system to have toric steady states. Furthermore, we analyze the capacity of such a system to exhibit positive steady states and multistationarity. Examples of systems with toric steady states include weakly-reversible zero-deficiency chemical reaction systems. An important application of our work concerns the networks that describe the multisite phosphorylation of a protein by a kinase/phosphatase pair in a sequential and distributive mechanism.

A note on"MAPK networks and their capacity for multistationarity due to toric steady states"
We provide a short supplement to the paper “MAPK networks and their capacity for multistationarity due to toric steady states” by Pérez Millán and Turjanski. We show that the capacity for toric steady states in the three networks analyzed in that paper can be derived using the process of network translation, which corresponds the original mass action system to a generalized mass action system w...
متن کاملTranslated chemical reaction networks.
Many biochemical and industrial applications involve complicated networks of simultaneously occurring chemical reactions. Under the assumption of mass action kinetics, the dynamics of these chemical reaction networks are governed by systems of polynomial ordinary differential equations. The steady states of these mass action systems have been analyzed via a variety of techniques, including stoi...
متن کاملEuclidean Distance Degree for Chemical Reaction Networks
In this paper we investigate the complexity of model selection and model testing in chemical reaction networks by formulating them as Euclidean distance problems. We determine closed form expressions for the Euclidean distance degree of the steady state varieties associated to several different families of toric chemical reaction networks with arbitrarily many reaction sites. We show how our re...
متن کاملToric dynamical systems
We develop the algebraic theory of toric dynamical systems. These dynamical systems have the property that both their steady state loci and their moduli spaces are toric varieties. In the context of mass-action kinetics in chemistry, they are precisely the reaction networks that admit a complex balancing state. This steady state is unique within each invariant polyhedron. Toric dynamical system...
متن کاملThe Effect of Coking on Kinetics of HDS Reaction under Steady and Transient States
A study was made of the coking of a commercial fresh sulfide Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor. The catalyst was coked using different coke precursors in the gas oil under accelerated conditions at temperatures of 400 to 450°C to yield different deactivated catalysts containing 2-20 wt% C. Two cases were studied; crushed catalyst without diffusional ...
