SpeciesVariables
Species in abstract kinetic law
Description
This property shows species variables that are used in the Expression
property of the kinetic law object to determine the ReactionRate
equation in the reaction object. Use the function set
to assign SpeciesVariables
to an abstract kinetic
law. For more information, see Kinetic Law Definition.
Characteristics
Applies to | Objects: abstract kinetic law, kineticlaw |
Data type | Cell array of character vectors |
Data values | Defined by abstract kinetic law |
Access | Read/write in abstract kinetic law. Read-only in kinetic law. |
Examples
Define Michaelis Menten Reaction Kinetics in SimBiology Model
Create a SimBiology model with a reaction.
m1 = sbiomodel("m1"); r1 = addreaction(m1,"A -> B");
Add a kinetic law for the reaction by using the built-in kinetic law (Michaelis Menten). Check the expression of the kinetic law.
kl = addkineticlaw(r1,"Henri-Michaelis-Menten");
kl.Expression
ans = 'Vm*S/(Km + S)'
Query the parameters and species variables defined in the kinetic law.
kl.ParameterVariables
ans = 2x1 cell
{'Vm'}
{'Km'}
kl.SpeciesVariables
ans = 1x1 cell array
{'S'}
Define Va
and Ka
as ParameterVariableNames
, which correspond to the ParameterVariables
Vm and Km defined in the Expression property of the kinetic law. To set these variables, first create the parameter variables as parameter objects (p1, p2) with the names Va and Ka, and then add them to the kinetic law object kl. The species object with the name A is created when the reaction object r1 is created and need not be redefined.
p1 = addparameter(kl,"Va"); p2 = addparameter(kl,"Ka");
Set the variable names for the kinetic law object.
kl.ParameterVariableNames = ["Va","Ka"]; kl.SpeciesVariableNames = ["A"];
Verified that the reaction rate is expressed correctly in the ReactionRate
property of the reaction object
r1.ReactionRate
ans = 'Va*A/(Ka+A)'
