Biochemical Coupling Through Emergent Conservation Laws
read the original abstract
Bazhin has analyzed ATP coupling in terms of quasiequilibrium states where fast reactions have reached an approximate steady state while slow reactions have not yet reached equilibrium. After an expository introduction to the relevant aspects of reaction network theory, we review his work and explain the role of emergent conserved quantities in coupling. These are quantities, left unchanged by fast reactions, whose conservation forces exergonic processes such as ATP hydrolysis to drive desired endergonic processes.

Emergent conserved quantities via irreversibility
Irreversible reactions generate emergent conservation laws and broken cycles in CRNs and Markov chains via a co-production index, extending the index law and resolving non-integer conservation conundrums.
