ModFossa: A Python Library for Ion Channel Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The creation and simulation of ion channel models using continuous-time Markov processes is a powerful and well-used tool in the field of electrophysiology and ion channel research. While several software packages exist for the purpose of ion channel modeling, none are available as a Python library. In an attempt to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful Markov model-based ion channel simulator, we have developed ModFossa, a Python library supporting easy model creation and stimulus definition, complete with a fast numerical solver, and attractive vector graphics plotting. keywords: Neuroscience, Simulation, ModFossa

متن کاملEffects of Hall current and ion-slip on unsteady hydromagnetic generalised Couette flow in a rotating Darcian channel
Unsteady hydromagnetic generalised Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel porous plates Darcian channel in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking Hall current and ion-slip into account in a rotating system is investigated. An exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by Laplace transform techniq...
متن کاملMining the ChEMBL Database: An Efficient Chemoinformatics Workflow for Assembling an Ion Channel-Focused Screening Library
The ChEMBL database was mined to efficiently assemble an ion channel-focused screening library. The compiled library consists of 3241 compounds representing 123 templates across nine ion channel categories. Compounds in the screening library are annotated with their respective ion channel category to facilitate back-tracing of prospective molecular targets from phenotypic screening results. The...
متن کاملPython Optimization Modeling Objects (Pyomo)
We describe Pyomo, an open source tool for modeling optimization applications in Python. Pyomo can be used to define symbolic problems, create concrete problem instances, and solve these instances with standard solvers. Pyomo provides a capability that is commonly associated with algebraic modeling languages such as AMPL, AIMMS, and GAMS, but Pyomo’s modeling objects are embedded within a full-...
متن کاملThe Molecular Modeling Toolkit: a case study of a large scientific application in Python
The Molecular Modeling Toolkit is a library of Python modules and C extension modules that provides an object-oriented description of molecular systems and an implementation of the most common modeling techniques. It is one of the first large scientific applications implemented in Python. This article presents some aspects of its design and implementation that are typical for scientific applica...
