On the Convergence Rate Lower Bound of Biochemical Computational Modules

Yuzhen Fan, Chuanhou Gao, Shibo He, Jiming Chen

Biochemical reaction networks have become a central theoretical framework for implementing molecular computation. A key challenge is finite time computational accuracy, as computation outputs are encoded in limiting steady states (LSSs) of species concentrations while practical implementations operate for only finite time. This work proposes a concise characterization of convergence rate for biochemical computational modules with multiple output species, and rigorously establishes it as being bounded by the eigenvalue with largest (least negative) real part of the Jacobian matrix. Two numerical examples illustrate how the theoretical lower bound shapes the convergence rate range and reveals its dependence on reaction rate constants. This formulation enables systematic evaluation of biochemical computation speed and provides a practical design measure for constructing high-accuracy and error-controlled biochemical computational modules.
