title: A kinetic mechanism inducing oscillations in simple chemical reactions networks.
abstract: It is known that a kinetic reaction network in which one or more secondary substrates are acting as cofactors may exhibit an oscillatory behavior. The aim of this work is to provide a description of the functional form of such a cofactor action guaranteeing the onset of oscillations in sufficiently simple reaction networks.
