Abstract: To simulate multi-delayed biochemical reaction systems, an MD-Leaping algorithm is proposed to efficiently analyze the process of biochemical reaction in closed systems. In contrast to the D-Leaping algorithm in which the quadruple structure is based on a single delay reaction, a new quadruple structure is built by different time-delay for the multi-delayed reactions. Several reactions can be simulated simultaneously in a time leap, leading to significant increase of the simulation speed. The proposed algorithm extends the D-Leaping method and speeds simulation of multi-delayed biochemical reaction system. Results of two specific biochemical reaction systems show effectiveness of the algorithm for multi-delayed biochemical reaction systems and the mprovement in speed compared to the multi-delay stochastic simulation algorithm (MDSSA) of multi-delayed systems.
