Core Concepts

K Type

Kinetics type (K type) including ten types:

  • “ZERO” (Zeroth order);

  • “UNDR” (Uni-directional mass action);

  • “UNMO” (Uni-term with the moderator);

  • “BIDR” (Bi-directional mass action);

  • “BIMO” (Bi-terms with the moderator);

  • “MM” (Michaelis-Menten kinetics without an explicit enzyme);

  • “MMCAT” (Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an explicit enzyme);

  • “HILL” (Hill equations);

  • “FR” (Kinetics in the format of fraction other than MM, MMCAT or HILL);

  • “NA” (not classified kinetics).

Example: K_type = SBMLKinetics.types.K_type(“NA”).

R Type

Reaction type (R type) is quantitatively represented by the number of reactants (R = 0, 1, 2, 3 (representing>2)) and products (P = 0, 1, 2, 3 (representing>2)).

Example: R_Type = SBMLKinetics.types.R_Type(1,1).
