Mathematical Approaches for Analysis of Biochemical Reaction Networks

A biochemical reaction network is the system in which biochemical species interact through various reaction channels. Many chemical or biochemical systems such as signal transduction pathways, gene regulatory networks and enzymatic reaction networks are modelled as biochemical reaction networks. To describe the time evolution of such systems quantitatively or qualitatively, mathematical methods and computational tools have been used. In this paper, we introduce mathematical and computational methods for analysing biochemical reaction networks. We review recent advances and discuss future works in the area of biochemical reaction networks.clos
