Abstract

Mathematical models of living systems are often based on formal representations of the underlying reaction networks. Here, we present the basic concepts for the deterministic nonspatial treatment of such networks. We describe the most prominent approaches for steady-state and dynamic analysis using systems of ordinary differential equations.
