View source for Stoichiometric Matrix (analysis)

==== Description ====
The stoichiometric matrix ''N'' provides the linear relationship of the model between the flux rates of the (enzymatic) reactions and the derivatives of the reactant (enzyme) concentrations.

If a reaction network has ''n'' reactions and ''m'' participating molecular species then the dynamic mass balance equation can be written as

where ''v'' is the flux vector and ''S'' is the concentration vector:
