Numerous simulation tools have been developed for numerical simulation of the behavior of a system described in mathematical form. However, there exist only a few evaluation studies of these tools. Knowledge of the properties and capabilities of the simulation tools would help bioscientists in building models based on experimental data.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We examine selected simulation tools that are intended for the simulation of biochemical systems. We choose four of them for more detailed study and perform time series simulations using a specific pathway describing the concentration of the active form of protein kinase C. We conclude that the simulation results are convergent between the chosen simulation tools. However, the tools differ in their usability, support for data transfer to other programs and support for automatic parameter estimation. From the experimentalists\u2019 point of view, all these are properties that need to be emphasized in the future.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0antti.pettinen@tut.fi<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,10]],"date-time":"2004-09-10T00:24:14Z","timestamp":1094775854000},"page":"357-363","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Simulation tools for biochemical networks: evaluation of performance and usability"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Antti","family":"Pettinen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Signal Processing, Tampere University of Technology P.O.
