Validity of the total quasi-steady-state approximation in stochastic biochemical reaction networks
Stochastic models for biochemical reaction networks are widely used to explore their complex dynamics but face significant challenges, including difficulties in determining rate constants and high computational costs. To address these issues, model reduction approaches based on deterministic quasi-steady-state approximations (QSSA) have been employed, resulting in propensity functions in the form of deterministic non-elementary reaction functions, such as the Michaelis-Menten equation. In particular, the total QSSA (tQSSA), known for its accuracy in deterministic frameworks, has been perceived as universally valid for stochastic model reduction. However, recent studies have challenged this perception. In this review, we demonstrate that applying tQSSA in stochastic model reduction can distort dynamics, even in cases where the deterministic tQSSA is rigorously valid. This highlights the need for caution when using deterministic QSSA in stochastic model reduction to avoid erroneous conclusions from model simulations.

A Much better replacement of the Michaelis-Menten equation and its application
Michaelis-Menten equation is a basic equation of enzyme kinetics and gives an acceptable approximation of real chemical reaction processes. Analyzing the derivation of this equation yields the fact that its good performa…
Quasi Steady-State Frequency
Accurate frequency estimation is critical for the control, monitoring and protection of electrical power systems, in particular, of systems with a high penetration of power electronics. This paper introduces the novel co…
Approximating quasi-stationary behaviour in network-based SIS dynamics
Deterministic approximations to stochastic Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible models typically predict a stable endemic steady-state when above threshold. This can be hard to relate to the underlying stochastic dynamics,…
Validity conditions for moment closure approximations in stochastic chemical kinetics
Approximations based on moment-closure (MA) are commonly used to obtain estimates of the mean molecule numbers and of the variance of fluctuations in the number of molecules of chemical systems. The advantage of this app…
