Understanding the influence of temperature change and cosolvent addition on conversion rate of enzymatic suspension reactions based on regime analysis. Biotechnol Bioeng. 62:1999;125-134. Enzyme suspension reactions are an important tool for biotransformations. They are modeled to accurately predict overall process time to develop heuristic rules to optimize such reactions.

Although neural networks were classed with (usually less accurate) stochastic models in this review, they might be preferred to deterministic models in some cases. These authors show that a neural network model outperforms a deterministic multiple regression model for this application.
