In view of the increasing number of reported concentration oscillations in living cells, methods are needed that can identify the causes of these oscillations. These causes always derive from the influences that concentrations have on reaction rates. The influences reach over many molecular reaction steps and are defined by the detailed molecular topology of the network. So-called ‘autoinfluence paths’, which quantify the influence of one molecular species upon itself through a particular path through the network, can have positive or negative values.
