title: [Minimal mixture principle as a method of choosing the form of a dynamic model].
abstract: The extremality principle for molecular processes in biological systems is considered. The principle is based on an assumption that the main function of biological processes is the separation of the "product" from the "scheme". The form of the dynamical model of the process is determined from the requirement of the "minimum mixture". As an example Selkov's model of glycolysis is considered.
