Simulation Environment: STEPS

Note: this list includes both models hosted here at ModelDB and models where have metadata and link to the sourcecode somewhere else. These may also be viewed separately; see the browse by simulator page.

STochastic Engine for Pathway Simulation (STEPS) is a package for exact stochastic simulation of reaction-diffusion systems in arbitrarily complex 3D geometries. Our core simulation algorithm is an implementation of Gillespie's SSA, extended to deal with diffusion of molecules over the elements of a 3D tetrahedral mesh. While it was mainly developed for simulating detailed models of neuronal signaling pathways in dendrites and around synapses, it is a general tool and can be used for studying any biochemical pathway in which spatial gradients and morphology are thought to play a role.
