Multistate and Multicomponent Species
SBML Level 3 Package Activity Status Page
Package objectives
Many models and modelers want to represent biochemical species that have internal structure or state properties. These may involve molecules that have multiple potential states, such as a protein that may be covalently modified, and molecules that combine to form heterogeneous complexes located among multiple compartments. The resulting system of reactions needs to be generated based on the combinatorial possibilities inherent in the definition of the species and on user-specified rules. The purpose of the SBML Level 3 Multistate and Multicomponent Species package is to provide a means for doing this in SBML.
The short label for this package is multi.
Active proposals
The SBML Development Process for SBML Level 3 defines two stages: a proposal stage, and a specification development stage. The following is a list of the active proposals for Multistate and Multicomponent Species in SBML Level 3:
