The Stability Theory of Nonpolynomial Kinetics

PMCID: PMC389453  PMID: 5289883

Abstract

The results of an investigation of the formal stability behavior of equivalent classes of kinetic equations (generated by stability constraint specifications) that are general enough to include nonpolynomial kinetics are outlined. The immediate motivation for the study arose from the need for a comprehensive theory when steric interactions in biosynthetic networks are explicitly taken into account.

Keywords: histidine biosynthesis, allosteric, isosteric, enzymatic reactions, deviation of kinetic equations
