In this paper, we mainly consider the following Schnakenberg model with a precursor

$ \mu(x) $

on the interval

$ (-1,1) $

:

$ \begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{array}{l}u_{t} = D_{1}u''-\mu(x)u+vu^{2} \hspace{1.64cm} \text{in }(-1,1),\\v_{t} = D_{2}v''+B-vu^{2}\hspace{2.2cm} \;\;\;\; \text{in } (-1,1),\\u'(\pm1) = v'(\pm1) = 0,\end{array}\right.\end{equation*}$

where

$ D_{1}>0 $

,

$ D_{2}>0 $

,

$ B>0 $

.

We establish the existence and stability of

$ N- $

peaked steady-states in terms of the precursor

$ \mu(x) $

and the diffusion coefficients

$ D_{1} $

and

$ D_{2} $

. It is shown that

$ \mu(x) $

plays an essential role for both existence and stability of the above pattern. Similar result has been obtained for the Gierer-Meinhardt system by Wei and Winter [21].

Keywords: Schnakenberg model, precursors, $ N- $peaked solutions, existence and stability.
