Summary
By means of a formal kinetic model, an analysis of the behavior of a certain type of unbranched sequences of biomolecular reactions is made. The main results are in (i) the characterization of the steady-state, (ii) the specification of a condition under which the largest physically admissible invariant set, containing the steady-state as invariant subset, can be obtained, and (iii) the deduction of parameter restrictions sufficient to assure asymptotic stability in the large in the given invariant set with respect to the steady-state.
