From Introduction, "Mathematical modeling and simulation of biochemical reaction networks facilitates our understanding of metabolic and signaling processes. For closed, well-mixed reaction systems, it is straightforward to derive kinetic equations that govern the concentrations of the reactants and products. The usual way of deriving kinetic equations involves application of the principle of conservation of mass in conjunction with the law of mass action. Here, examples of kinetic models for several basic processes are discussed."

This is an excellent introduction with lots of rich examples.
