The Stochastic Evolution of a Protocell: The Gillespie Algorithm in a Dynamically Varying Volume

We propose an improvement of the Gillespie algorithm allowing us to study the time evolution of an ensemble of chemical reactions occurring in a varying volume, whose growth is directly related to the amount of some specific molecules, belonging to the reactions set. This allows us to study the stoc...
