Stoichiometric number

Description

The sign of the stoichiometric number, ฮฝX, is determined by the direction of the transformation (positive for products, negative for substrates), and the magnitude of ฮฝX is determined by the stoichiometric form. For instance, ฮฝA=-1 in the reaction 0 = -1 A + 2 B (glucose converted to 2 lactate), but ฮฝA=-1/6 in the reaction 0 = -1/6 A - 1 B + 1 C (1/6 glucose and O2 converted to H2CO3).

Abbreviation: ฮฝX
