PySCeS: The Python Simulator for Cellular Systems

PySCeS provides a variety of tools for the analysis of cellular systems

• Input via a text based model description language.
• A structural analysis module.
• Integrators for the simulation of a cellular system's evolution over time (LSODA).
• Non-linear solvers that can be used to calculate a systems steady state (HYBRD, NLEQ2).
• A module for performing Metabolic Control Analysis (i.e. elasticities, flux and concentration control coeffcients).
• A bifurcation module for the study of systems which exhibit multiple (stable and unstable) steady states (PITCON)
• A variety of extra utilites such for performing parameter scans, data output and plotting.
• A dynamic module loading framework.
• SBML import and export capability.
• PySCeS is developed as Open Source software, is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence and
  uses the Scientific Libraries for Python: SciPy.

PySCeS is developed by the Triple-J Group for Molecular Cell Physiology in order to model and understand the complex processes which make up the living cell.
