Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on steps 6–10 of Fig. 4.1. The first step involves adding the kinetics associated with each reaction. Once, the model has been assembled it can be simulated. Its output can then be explored, analysed, and interpreted. If the output is in agreement with its biological counterpart, then the hypothesis can be tested.
