Reaction systems are a model of computation inspired by the biochemistry exhibited by living cells. In this paper, we introduce the notion of agency as an extension to the reaction systems formalism, leading to distributed reaction systems. Adding agents in the reaction systems setting, allows for the natural modelling and representation of multi-agent and distributed systems. To support the specification of temporal epistemic properties of distributed reaction systems, we introduce rsCTLK and present its associated model checking procedure. Finally, we show that model checking for rsCTLK is PSPACE-complete.
