🧵 We @mosaicgroup.bsky.social just published in @aip-publishing.bsky.social JChemPhys (doi.org/10.1063/5.02...): Turns out that grid resolution in stochastic reaction-diffusion models represents molecule size! This completely changes how we understand "reaction loss" in these models:

Loss of bimolecular reactions in reaction–diffusion master equations is consistent with diffusion limited reaction kinetics in the mean field limit
We show that the resolution-dependent loss of bimolecular reactions in spatiotemporal Reaction–Diffusion Master Equations (RDMEs) is in agreement with the mean-
