Abstract

There are a series of graphs which are able to represent chemical reactions so as to lead to consequences on their (static or dynamic) behavior. We start with the Feinberg–Horn–Jackson graph, the one which may be the most well known for the chemists. Strictly connected to this concept is reversibility and weak reversibility and also the concept of central importance: deficiency. The Volpert graph is almost as well known, especially for those involved in metabolism research. Indexing of the Volpert graph has relevant consequences on the time evolution of the concentrations. Relationships between the two graphs are studied. Finally, the species–complex–linkage class graph and the complex graph are finally introduced. Further graphs (such as the influence diagram, the graph of atomic fluxes, the state space of the stochastic model) even more closely related to time-dependent behavior can and will only be introduced in later chapters.
