title: Unifying mass-action kinetics and Newtonian mechanics by means of Nambu brackets.
abstract: We demonstrate that elementary biochemical reactions defined by mass-action kinetics satisfy a particular Nambu structure. To this end, we express biochemical reaction equations in terms of Nambu brackets and certain ω-factors. The ω-factors account for the fact that mass-action kinetics exhibits in general flow fields with finite divergence. The proposed approach by means of Nambu brackets and ω-factors unifies divergence freeflow fields of Newtonian mechanics and flow fields with finite divergence of mass-action kinetics.
