Essentials of Biochemical Modeling

Computer models of biochemical systems are starting to play an increasingly important role in modern systems and synthetic biology. This monograph introduces students to some of the essential topics in biochemical modeling using differential equations and stochastic models. The book includes many hands-on modeling exercises and examples that illustrate many important concepts, including the stoichiometric networks, building models, running simulations, model fitting, stability of systems and multicompartment systems.
