Analysis of multiscale biochemical systems: graph methods

Abstract:
The applicability of usual biochemical modelling by ordinary differential equations is restricted if some of the metabolite concentrations leave the range of observability during the time span of interest. Therefore, a method is needed for testing whether the solution of a differential equation system remains comparable with given reference concentrations, which depend on the conditions of measurement. In the present paper, such a method based on graph theory and non-standard analysis is developed for the special case of networks of monomolecular reactions endowed with linear kinetics.
