ecell4 1.1.2

A software platform for modeling, simulation and analysis of complex, heterogeneous and multi-scale systems like the cell. E-Cell has multi-algorithm, multi-timescale and multi-spatial-representation as its central feature.

ecell4

This provides pure Python libraries (Miscellaneous utility functions) for E-Cell System version 4.

Binding and unbinding reactions

Run this with Jupyter Notebook

%matplotlib inline
from ecell4 import *

with reaction_rules():
    A + B == C | (0.01, 0.3)

run_simulation(10, {'A': 60, 'B': 60})

Diffusion on a spherical surface

Run this with Jupyter Notebook

%matplotlib inline
from ecell4_base.core import *
from ecell4 import *

with species_attributes():
    M | {'dimension': 2}
    A | {'D': 1.0, 'location': 'M'}

surface = Sphere(ones() * 0.5, 0.49).surface()
obs = FixedIntervalTrajectoryObserver(1e-4)
run_simulation(
    0.4, y0={'A': 10}, structures={'M': surface},
    solver='spatiocyte', observers=obs, return_type=None)

viz.plot_trajectory(obs, interactive=False)
