Description
In many biological applications, it is useful to model chemical reactions at the level of individual molecules whilst not running costly Brownian dynamics models. Modelling chemical reactions as interactions at a distance can lead to errors if multiple species and time scales are important to the kinetics (for example, catalytic reactions). Multiple time scale analysis of equivalent mean-field kinetics can lead to high order reactions which are not just governed by the law of mass-action but also nonlinear kinetics such as Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In this talk we will discuss some particle-based methods which recapitulate these high order kinetics.
