“…On the one hand, reaction systems have been investigated for their mathematical and computational properties as a model for interactive biocomputation, on topics such as minimal systems [5,6], functions and state sequences [7,8], timed versions [9,10,11,12], modular decompositions [13], equivalence properties [14,15,16]. On the other hand, reaction systems have been studied a modeling framework for capturing realistic biological processes and for enhancing their analytic capabilities; topics include model checking properties [17,18,19], modeling of the heat shock response [20], of the self-assembly of intermediate filaments [21], and of the ErbB signaling pathway [22], bifurcation and multi-stability properties [23].…”
