kinetics - a open-source python package for modelling multi-enzyme reactions with uncertainty

graphical abstract

kinetics is a package for modelling reactions using ordinary differential equations. It’s primarily aimed at modelling enzyme reactions, although can be used for other purposes.

kinetics uses scipy.integrate.odeint to solve ordinary differential equations, but extends upon this to allow the use of parameter distributions rather than single parameter values. This allows error to be incorporated into the modelling.

kinetics uses scipy’s probability distributions, with a large number of distributions to choose from. Typically uniform , normal, log-uniform or log-normal distributions are used.
