Bond-Graph Modelling and Causal Analysis of Biomolecular Systems. Gawthrop, P. J. In Bond Graphs for Modelling, Control and Fault Diagnosis of Engineering Systems, pages 587–623. Springer International Publishing, Berlin, 2017.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Bond graph modelling of the biomolecular systems of living organisms is introduced. Molecular species are represented by non-linear C components and reactions by non-linear two-port R components. As living systems are neither at thermodynamic equilibrium nor closed, open and non-equilibrium systems are considered and illustrated using examples of biomolecular systems. Open systems are modelled using chemostats: chemical species with fixed concentration. In addition to their role in ensuring that models are energetically correct, bond graphs provide a powerful and natural way of representing and analysing causality. Causality is used in this chapter to examine the properties of the junction structures of biomolecular systems and how they relate to biomolecular concepts.
