RK4

The RK4 tool is a tool that can be used to model ordinary differential equations (ODE). Like other ODE solvers you can output the results of a simulation into graph or tables.

Example 1 : Simple Constitutive Expression

constitutiveexpression <- function(t, x, parms) {

Define the name of the model

mRNA <- x[1]

protein <- x[2]

Name the response variables – these are the outputs of our model

with(as.list(parms),{

dmRNA <- k1 - d1*mRNA

dprotein <- k2*mRNA - d2*protein

res<-c(dmRNA, dprotein)

list(res)

})}

Combine these vectors into a list called res

times <-seq(0, 1000, length=1001)

parms <-c(k1=0.69 , k2=f ,d1=0.23 ,d2=0.012)

Generate a time series over which to solve the equations (1000 in steps of 1)

Set the parameter values in parms

y <- xstart <-c (mRNA=1, protein=1)

Set the starting value for response variables

output <- as.data.frame(rk4(xstart, times, constitutiveexpression, parms))

plot(output$time, output$protein, ylim=c(0,2000), ylab="protein (molecules)",xlab="time (min)",type="n") }
