✦ Synopsis
The intracellular transducing device consists of complex networks of enzymatic reactions. Unfortunately, the mathematical models commonly used to describe them are still unsatisfactory and unreliable, even at the level of reproducing simple reaction schemes. The improvement of mathematical models is necessary and can follow different approaches still poorly employed, such as the modeling of spatial structures and phenomena, time delays, stochastic perturbations, only to cite the most relevant ones. In this paper we show some recent results related to the total quasi-steady-state approximation (tQSSA), in a deterministic scenario. Moreover, we show some possible applications of the tQSSA in a stochastic scheme.

## Abstract A previous paper (Sutera 1981) considered the effect of stochastic perturbation on the long‐term behaviour of a highly idealized energy‐balanced model of zero spatial dimension. It was shown that, in the presence of stochastic perturbations, transitions between different stable equilibr
Briefly, we may say that radioactive isotopes are applicable to all branches of pharmaceutical research and by virtue of the very nature of pharmaceutical problems themselves are especially important. It is hoped that the illustrations of the applications of radioactive tracers to pharmacy and
## Abstract The ability to model the effect of non‐negligible levels of white noise superimposed on a carrier is investigated when this signal–noise combination is fed to the input of an MMIC power amplifier. Transient simulation using stochastic differential equations is introduced here to handle
