TÍTULO: "Computational Modeling of Biochemical Networks with COPASI"
RESUMEN: Modeling and computer simulation are becoming standard approaches to understand complex biochemical processes. Modeling consists of identifying the essential features of a system and translating them mathematically through several parameters and functions. Simulation consists of solving the equations at different values of the parameters essentially to answer questions that ask how the parameters affect the system. I will present COPASI, a user-friendly biochemical modeling and simulation software that offers several unique features. COPASI helps the user to define models without much mathematical background, yet it provides several advanced simulation tasks. This includes solution and characterization of steady states, time course simulations with deterministic and stochastic approaches, parameter estimation, optimization and sensitivity analysis. This open source software is available from http://www.copasi.org
