Building a quick Michaelis-Menten reaction using COPASI’s automatisms. Working with reaction equations automatically creates required entities the same way the COPASI GUI does.

unloadModel()Getting more detail in can be helpful. Here we create a global quantity “substrate concentration” which applies a fixed value to species “a”. This is achieved by assigning the Value reference of the global quantity to species “a”.

unloadModel()In previous examples, we used the predefined “Reversible Michaelis-Menten” kinetic functions. In this example we create an equivalent function manually to achieve the same result.

unloadModel()The runTimeCourse function only returns data for actual defined entities of the model. Auxiliarry information like reaction rates can be missing and needs to be added via global quantity assignments. This example creates a global quantity “reaction rate” to generate data for the main reaction’s flux.
