the kinetic of the heterogeneous chemical reaction of aluminum hydroxide and fluosilicic acid was studied. it was found that the diffusion of the reactants through the porous silica coating to the aluminum hydroxide surface and the interfacial chemical reaction between the diffusing reactant and aluminum hydroxide platelets control the overall reaction rate. these two phenomena were studied and...

These notes are shamelessly cribbed from the extremely helpful online notes [2]. Even most of the notation is the same. I wrote them because, like Goethe’s Frenchman, I wanted to translate Gunawardena’s notes into my own language. I also benefitted from conversations with Moe Hirsch and Gheorghe Craciun and from lectures by Gheorghe Craciun and David Anderson. 1. Notation. The positive real num...

Chemical reaction networks (CRNs) formally model chemistry in a well-mixed solution. CRNs are widely used to describe information processing occurring in natural cellular regulatory networks, and with upcoming advances in synthetic biology, CRNs are a promising programming language for the design of artificial molecular control circuitry. Due to a formal equivalence between CRNs and a model of ...

There is also some overlap with Discussion 67 (1979) on State-Selected Kinetics and Discussion 75 (1983) on Intramolecular Kinetics. However, the present symposium di†ers from all these in two very important ways : (1) condensed-phase reactions are also included, and (2) the discussion is focused exclusively on theory. With these aspects in mind one could include a number of earlier predecessor...

We consider the dynamics of chemical reaction networks under the assumption of mass-action kinetics. We show that there exist reaction networks R for which the reaction rate constants are not uniquely identifiable, even if we are given complete information on the dynamics of concentrations for all chemical species of R. Also, we show that there exist reaction networks R1 6= R2 such that their d...

Mathematical modeling and simulation of biochemical reaction networks facilitates our understanding of metabolic and signaling processes. For closed, well-mixed reaction systems, it is straightforward to derive kinetic equations that govern the concentrations of the reactants and products. The usual way of deriving kinetic equations involves application of the principle of conservation of mass ...

Motivated by the intriguing complexity of biochemical circuitry within individual cells we study Stochastic Chemical Reaction Networks (SCRNs), a formal model that considers a set of chemical reactions acting on a finite number of molecules in a well-stirred solution according to standard chemical kinetics equations. SCRNs have been widely used for describing naturally occurring (bio)chemical s...
