Hello George,
Thank you for the SBML file! I noticed that it is invalid SBML the id
of a species must not include '.' COPASI still loads it since we use
names which do not have the same restrictions. You can fix this by
using both name and id in SBML. Note the id must be of the form:
letter ::= ’a’..’z’,’A’..’Z’
digit ::= ’0’..’9’
idChar ::= letter | digit | ’_’
name ::= ( letter | ’_’ ) idChar*
The following would be valid:
<species id='_2_8_1_8' name='2.8.1.8' compartment='C' ...
There are several problems with your rate law:
1) division by zero if substrate == k_parameter
2) negative if substrate > k_parameter
Where did you find it? Normally you would see the form
1 + (substrate/k_parameter)^stoichiometry
^
which would avoid both problems.
Thanks,
Stefan
