This paper studies a chemical reaction network’s (CRN) reactant subspace, i.e. the linear subspace generated by its reactant complexes, to elucidate its role in the system’s kinetic behaviour. We introduce concepts such as reactant rank and reactant deficiency and compare them with their analogues c...
