Abstract
The paper investigates sequences generated by reaction systems. Arbitrary sequences can be generated if the cardinalities of the sets of reactants and inhibitors are unbounded. Most of the paper investigates systems where both of these cardinalities equal 1. A general result is obtained concerning sequences generated by systems with interaction. New estimates are obtained for lengths of sequences in the non-interactive case.
