## TL;DR

This paper introduces a method to simulate chemical reactions under specific conditions using mathematical transformations.

## Contribution

The novelty is deriving an algorithm for simulating conditioned chemical reaction processes via a change of measure.

## Key findings

- A mathematical framework is developed to condition chemical reaction processes on observed states.
- The proposed algorithm generates weighted samples from the conditioned process.
- Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the approach.

## Abstract

Let X be a chemical reaction process, modeled as a multi-dimensional continuous-time jump process. Assume that at given times \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
