ON ELEMENTARY FLUX MODES IN BIOCHEMICAL REACTION SYSTEMS AT STEADY STATE

Stefan Schuster, Claus C. Hilgetag · 1 Jun 1994

A mathematical definition of the concept of elementary mode is given so as to apply to biochemical reaction systems subsisting at steady state. This definition relates to existing concepts of null-space vectors and includes a condition of simplicity. It is shown that for systems in which all fluxes have fixed signs, all elementary modes are…

Positive and Negative Circuits in Dynamical Systems

Jean‐Luc Gouzé · 1 Mar 1998

We state precisely and demonstrate two conjectures of R. Thomas following which (a) the existence of a positive circuit in the oriented interaction graph of a differential system is a necessary condition for the existence of several steady states, and (b) the existence of a negative non-oriented circuit of length at least two is a…

Necessary Conditions for Multistationarity and Stable Periodicity

El Houssine Snoussi · 1 Mar 1998

We show in this paper that, for a differential system defined by a quasi-monotonous function f (with constant sign partial derivatives) the existence of a positive loop in the interaction graph associated to the Jacobian matrix of f is a necessary condition for multistationarity, and the existence of a negative loop comprising at least two…

CAN MARKOV CHAIN MODELS MIMIC BIOLOGICAL REGULATION?

Seungchan Kim, Huai Li, Edward R. Dougherty et al. · 29 Nov 2002

A fundamental question in biology is whether the network of interactions that regulate gene expression can be modeled by existing mathematical techniques. Studies of the ability to predict a gene's state based on the states of other genes suggest that it may be possible to abstract sufficient information to build models of the system that…

FEEDBACK LOOPS, STABILITY AND MULTISTATIONARITY IN DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Erik Plahte, Thomas Mestl, Stig W. Omholt · 1 Jun 1995

By fairly simple considerations of stability and multistationarity in nonlinear systems of first order differential equations it is shown that under quite mild restrictions a negative feedback loop is a necessary condition for stability, and that a positive feedback loop is a necessary condition for multistationarity.

Journal of Biological Systems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Biological Systems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Biological Systems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official World Scientific format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Biological Systems use?
Journal of Biological Systems uses Superscript numbered (World Scientific) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Journal of Biological Systems 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Biological Systems?
No. DocuGuru generates the ws-ijmpa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a World Scientific-ready Journal of Biological Systems document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Biological Systems template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Biological Systems format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Journal of Biological Systems?
Journal of Biological Systems is a physics journal published by World Scientific. DocuGuru's Journal of Biological Systems template matches World Scientific's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Biological Systems PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Biological Systems template (the ws-ijmpa class) that is ready to submit to World Scientific, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Biological Systems template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Biological Systems template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Biological Systems PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
