Abstract
The functioning of a living cell consists of a (huge) number of individual biochemical reactions. These reactions are regulated, where the two main regulation mechanisms are: facilitation/acceleration and inhibition/retardation. The interaction between individual biochemical reactions takes place through their influence on each other, and this influence is through facilitation or inhibition (or both).
