3.1 Kinetic models and their dynamic behaviour in a nutshell Examples: Metabolic network; transport reactions; signaling system; gene expression Stoichiometric coefficients nir Stoichiometric coefficients denote the proportions, with which the molecules of substrates and products enter the biochemical reactions. One can summarise the stoichiometric coefficients in a matrix N. The rows refer to the substances, the columns refer to the reactions. External metabolites are usually not included in N.
