Simulating plant metabolic pathways with enzyme-kinetic models.

A Mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used not only in the natural sciences, but also in the social science (such as economics, psychology, sociology, and political science). Mathematical models can take many forms, including but not limited to dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models. Mathematical modeling of metabolism is usually closely associated with changes in compound concentrations that are described in terms of rates of biochemical reactions [1].
