Abstract: Most differential equations found in chemical reaction networks (CRNs) have the form $dx/dt=f(x)=Sv(x)$, where $x$ lies in the nonnegative orthant, where $S$ is a real matrix (the stoichiometric matrix) and $v$ is a column vector consisting of real-valued functions having a special relationship to $S$. Our main interest will be in the Jacobian matrix, $f^{\prime }(x)$, of $f(x)$, in particular in whether or not each entry $f^{\prime }(x{)}_{ij}$ has the same sign for all $x$ in the orthant, i.e., the Jacobian respects a sign pattern. In other words species $x_j$ always acts on species $x_i$ in an inhibitory way or its action is always excitatory. In Helton, Klep, Gomez we gave necessary and sufficient conditions on the species-reaction graph naturally associated to $S$ which guarantee that the Jacobian of the associated CRN has a sign pattern. In this paper, given $S$ we give a construction which adds certain rows and columns to $S$, thereby producing a stoichiometric matrix $widehatS$ corresponding to a new CRN with some added species and reactions. The Jacobian for this CRN based on $hatS$ has a sign pattern. The equilibria for the $S$ and the $hatS$ based CRN are in exact one to one correspondence with each equilibrium $e$ for the original CRN gotten from an equilibrium $hate$ for the new CRN by removing its added species. In our construction of a new CRN we are allowed to choose rate constants for the added reactions and if we choose them large enough the equilibrium $hate$ is locally asymptotically stable if and only if the equilibrium $e$ is locally asymptotically stable. Further properties of the construction are shown, such as those pertaining to conserved quantities and to how the deficiencies of the two CRNs compare.
