Species object - Options for compartment species

Description

The SimBiology® species object represents a species, which is a chemical or entity that participates in reactions, for example, DNA, ATP, Pi, creatine, G-Protein, or Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK). Species amounts can vary or remain constant during a simulation.

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 the addspecies method at the command-line. The SimBiology desktop, adds a default compartment (unnamed) for you and you can add a species in the Species pane. In the Project Explorer, expand Compartment and double-click Species to open the Species pane.

See Property Summary for links to species property reference pages. Properties define the characteristics of an object. Use the MATLAB get and set commands to list object properties and change their values at the command line. You can graphically change object properties in the graphical user interface.
