A necessary and sufficient condition is applied to determine the possibility of multiple positive steady states in a complex, active membrane transport model with a cycle, which is performed by pump pro-teins coupled to a source of metabolic energy. A set of rate constants and two corresponding steady states are computed. Hysteresis phenomena are observed. A signature of multiplicity is derived, which can be applied in mechanism identifications if steady-state concentrations for some species are measured. The bifurcation of multiple steady states is also displayed.

The interesting dynamical behaviours exhibiting in chemical reaction systems, such as multiple steady states and undamped oscillations, often result from unstable steady states. A positive real eigenvalue condition is proposed which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the determination of an unstable steady state having a positive real eigenvalue in general isothermal reaction networks. Formulas are developed to construct an unstable steady state and a set of positive rate constants. The applications are illustrated by three examples. Two give rise to oscillations and one admits multiple steady states.
