Stochastic chemical reactions in microdomains.
Traditional chemical kinetics may be inappropriate to describe chemical reactions in microdomains involving only a small number of substrate and reactant molecules. Starting with the stochastic dynamics of the molecules, we derive a master-diffusion equation for the joint probability density of a mobile reactant and the number of bound substrate in a confined domain. We use the equation to calc...
متن کاملThreshold activation for stochastic chemical reactions in microdomains.
The mean time to reach a threshold (MTT) is the mean first passage time for the number of bound molecules to reach a given value. In the theory of chemical reactions involving a small number of ligands and molecules, the MTT represents the first time a given number of binding sites is formed. In that context, the MTT can be used to characterize the stability of chemical processes, especially wh...
متن کاملCoupled Chemical Reactions in Stochastic Pi-calculus
This document describes how a number of spatially homogeneous chemical systems can be modeled in the stochastic pi-calculus and simulated using the Stochastic Pi Machine. Each of the systems presented here was previously defined as a set of reaction equations, which were simulated using the Gillespie algorithm. For further details on the models and the references to the original literature, see...
متن کاملStochastic Simulation Algorithms for Chemical Reactions
In various biochemical systems, discrete and stochastic approaches are more appropriate than continuous and deterministic approaches when the system has small numbers of molecules. Before the emergence of the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) by Gillespie, chemical master equations were used to stochastically model. Solving the master equations is often mathematically intractable. Therefore...
متن کاملExact stochastic simulation of coupled chemical reactions
There are two formalisms for mathematically describing the time behavior of a spatially homogeneous chemical system: The deterministic approach regards the time evolution as a continuous, wholly predictable process which is governed by a set of coupled, ordinary differential equations (the “reaction-rate equations”); the stochastic approach regards the time evolution as a kind of random-walk pr...
