Abstract
In this paper we present a quantified model concerning the synthesis of pre-rRNAs. The chemical kinetics simulation software Dizzy has been chosen as both the modelling and simulation framework of our study. We discuss the validation of the model against the available experimental data and we show some preliminary results obtained from the study of our model. All the analyses are based on stochastic simulation.
