Cantu, G. Nicolis Interdisciplinary Center for Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems, Universit�ibre de Bruxelles, C.P. 231, Bvd. du Triomphe, 1050 Brussels, Belgium The relation between the topology of a chemical reaction network and its thermodynamic properties, particularly the energy dissipation patterns, is analyzed. Both regular and complex structures are considered. For networks consisting of linear reactions this task is analytically accomplished by formulating the network dynamics in terms of the network.s connectivity matrix. The thermodynamic effect of nonlinear feedback dynamics on chemical networks is considered in the limits of close to and far away from equilibrium and discussed in connection with the robustness of the response to external disturbances. © IWNET 2006
