Abstract
A metabolic system can be defined as composed of metabolites that are interconverted by enzyme reactions. The change of each metabolite concentration with time (dS i /dt) depends on the balance between the rates v j of production and consumption of the metabolite:
in which n ij is the stoicheiometric coefficient of S i in the reaction j and m is the number of metabolites.
