In this situtation I would simply define two reactions, one for the on
rate and one for the off rate. Ignore the reversibility flag, it was
originally intended to be used in elemetnary mode and flux balance
analysis.

Subject: [sbml-discuss] Multiple kineticLaw Sections Per Reaction

I'm wanting to put multiple kineticlaw sections in each reaction. The
reason that I want to do this is because I have kinetic data on both the
on and off rates of the reactions that I need to model as separate
reactions. I thought that it made sense that if I said that the
reaction was reversible then I could have both the forward and reverse
kinetics within that reaction.

Something similar to this seems to have been discussed before:
http://www.sbml.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&goto=2996&rid=0

Is there a better, more accepted way to do this?

Another issue that I've been thinking about is: what is the best way to
store multiple values for the same kinetic rate constants. The reason I
want to do this is that I have tables that list a set of kinetics for
reactions from several groups that may not agree. I would like to store
all these values within my sbml so that my tools can try to enumerate
which kinetics seem to be the most consistent. I could do this within
an annotation, but it seems as though it could be an issue that could
more generally useful to the sbml community.
