Integral regulation mechanism in phosphorylation cycles

In this paper, we study integral regulation mechanism in a class of phosphorylation cycles where we consider enzyme regulation by an intermediary metabolite. Using chemical reaction network framework, we prove that the network dynamics is (locally) asymptotically stable for sufficiently small integral gain. Furthermore, we show that the integral regulation ensures the absolute concentration robustness (ACR) property of the network.
