Species object

Object containing species information

Description

The SimBiology®species object represents aspecies, which is a chemical or entity that participates in reactions, for example,DNA,ATP,Pi,creatine,G-Protein, orMitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK). Species amounts can vary or remain constant during a simulation. The name of each species must be unique within the same compartment and the species object cannot have the same name as anyobservableobject in the model.

To add species that participate in reactions, add the reaction to the model. The process of adding the reaction to the model creates a compartment object (unnamed) and the necessary species objects.

Alternatively, create and add a species object to a compartment object, using theaddspeciesmethod at the command line.

SeeProperty Summaryfor links to species property reference pages. Properties define the characteristics of an object. Use thegetandsetcommands to list object properties and change their values at the command line. You can graphically change object properties in the graphical user interface.
