UNIVERSALLY VALID REDUCTION OF MULTISCALE STOCHASTIC BIOCHEMICAL SYSTEMS USING SIMPLE NON-ELEMENTARY PROPENSITIES.

Universally valid reduction of multiscale stochastic biochemical systems using simple non-elementary propensities.

Biochemical systems consist of numerous elementary reactions governed by the law of mass action.However, experimentally characterizing all the elementary reactions is nearly impossible.Thus, over a century, their deterministic models that typically contain rapid reversible bindings have been simplified with non-elementary reaction functions (e.g.,

The chromosome-level wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox) genome provides insights into floral scent biosynthesis and flowering in winter

Abstract Background Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox), an important ornamental plant, has evolved unique fragrant aroma and winter-flowering properties, which are critical for its successful sexual reproduction.However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits are largely unknown in this species.In addition, wintersweet is also a typical r
