摘要

We demonstrate that elementary biochemical reactions defined by mass-action kinetics satisfy a particular Nambu structure. To this end, we express biochemical reaction equations in terms of Nambu brackets and certain omega-factors. The omega-factors account for the fact that mass-action kinetics exhibits in general flow fields with finite divergence. The proposed approach by means of Nambu brackets and omega-factors unifies divergence freeflow fields of Newtonian mechanics and flow fields with finite divergence of mass-action kinetics.
