Stoichiometric number
Description
The sign of the stoichiometric number, Ξ½X, is determined by the direction of the transformation (positive for products, negative for substrates), and the magnitude of Ξ½X is determined by the stoichiometric form. For instance, Ξ½A=-1 in the reaction 0 = -1 A + 2 B (glucose converted to 2 lactate), but Ξ½A=-1/6 in the reaction 0 = -1/6 A - 1 B + 1 C (1/6 glucose and O2 converted to H2CO3).
Abbreviation: Ξ½X
