Abstract
The stochastic analysis of a chemical system obeying to mass-action ki netics and giving rise to deterministic chaos is carried out using the master equation approach. Quantitative comparison with the prediction s of the deterministic description based on the rate equations shows t hat the system's attractor and the probabilistic properties are robust toward fluctuations.
