Abstract / Description of output

Models of biochemical systems with few copies of molecules should be stochastic and should account for the random interplay among networks. Despite mathematical tools to account for low-level intrinsic fluctuations are well-known, less is known about the modeling of interplay, especially in biology. Classical abstractions use extrinsic unbounded gaussian noises to model these interplays. However, recent literature showed that bounded noises are a more realistic abstraction. NoisySim is a Java library to simulate chemically reacting systems where both intrinsic stochasticity and extrinsic bounded noises are present. Intrinsic low-numbers fluctuations are accounted by a Gillespie-like approach, extrinsic noises are modeled as Langevin stochastic equations affecting the model jump rates. NoisySim allows to approximate the solution of the Chapman-Kolgomorov equation characterizing the system, thus allowing to asses whether biochemical noise plays a functional role for a target network.
