3 Introduction to stochastic kinetics Stochastic kinetics Small species populations Species numbers are integers, reactions cause integer jumps Large fluctuations in species numbers and reaction rates Biological networks and catalyst particles Model reduction Develop reduced models from stochastic chemical reactions. These models must meet the following requirements: Simpler than the full model (fewer reactions, fewer parameters, or faster simulation times) Converge to the full model as a specified parameter goes to zero Rawlings Molecular reaction engineering 3 / 35
