RUN YOUR EQUILIBRIUM MODEL IN SIX STEPS

0) Before we start, most worksheets have special comments in cells


to help you out. You can recognize the comments by the red, small triangle
in the upper-right hand corner like the one this cell has. Just move your pointer over
the cell to see the comment. To see all the comments, under the "View" menu, select the
"Comments" menu item
1) Click the "species" worksheet tab below and enter in your species, edit the initial
concentrations, type a "Y" in the "Display Output ?" column for any species you wish to plot.
2) Click the "parm" worksheet tab and enter your desired temperature and other settings
3) Click the "CONTROL" worksheet tab below and click
the "RUN" button. If you do not have a registration key, you will also
have to press the ENTER key three times in the KINTECUS window
(ie, click in the KINTECUS window, press ENTER three times)
4) Click the "Plot Results" button on the CONTROL worksheet. That's it!!
5) OPTIONAL: If you wish to FIT experimental data to a model, enter your data in the "fitdata"
worksheet, with Time(s) as the first column, first row. The species names should follow the
Time(s) heading on the same row. Place your species/temperature data under the appropriate
species column (if a species is missing data for a time point, place an N in the cell). Append a
question mark, "?", to the end of values you wish for Kintecus to regress/fit. Type the additional
switch "FIT:2:3:FITDATA.TXT" in the KINTECUS SWITCHES cell located on the CONTROL
worksheet. You can also tryFIT:1:3:FITDATA.TXT , -FIT:1:1:FITDATA.TXT and
FIT:2:1:FITDATA.TXT. Run Kintecus. You can see the "Enzyme_Regression_Fitting.xls" file as an
example!!
6) There are many other interesting things you can do with your model, so please
be sure to read the Kintecus.pdf documentation!
