Stochastic Chemical Kinetics Theory and (Mostly) Systems Biological Applications

Th is volume reviews the theory and simulation methods of stochastic kinetics by integrating historical and recent perspectives, presents applications, mostly in the context of chemical signal processing, gene expression, enzyme kinetics and autocatalytic processes. In recent years, due to the development in experimental techniques such as optical imaging, single cell analysis, and one-molecule fl uorescence spectroscopy, biochemical kinetic data inside single living cells have increasingly become available. Th e emergence of systems biology brought renaissance in the application of stochastic kinetic methods as is refl ected in this book.

Stochastic Chemical Kinetics reviews the theory and simulation methods of stochastic kinetics by integrating historical and recent perspectives.
