[bionet.software] Simulation of Kinetics

jaking@athena.mit.edu (Jonathan A. King) (12/15/90)

I am looking for a program that will run on an IBM-PC, Mac, or VAX
that will allow me to simulate the kinetic progress of reactions. The
reactions that I am interested in are nucleation/polymerization
reactions as in the case of actin, tubulin, etc.

The ideal program would allow me to type in a reaction scheme, and
rate constants, and would plot the progress of the reaction versus
time. Does such a program exist, and if so where can I obtain a copy.

Peter,
        I think that the program that you are looking for is KINSIM. It will
run in a VAX that has a FORTRAN compiler. You can get this program from Prof.
Carl Frieden at the Washington University. As I have not his E-mail address,
here is his postal address (I hope it has not changed)
        Prof. Carl Frieden
        Department of Biological Chemistry

        St. Louis, Missouri 63110

        Telephone: 314 - 454 - 3699 (3698)

                                Good luck et Bonne annee
