DMSS (Discrete Metabolic Simulation System) is a framework for modelling and simulating metabolic pathways. Quantitative simulation of metabolic pathways is achieved using discrete- event techniques. The approach differs from most quantitative simulators of metabolism which employ either time-differentiated functions or mathematical modelling techniques. Instead, models are constructed from biochemical data and biological knowledge, with accessibility and relevance to biologists serving as key features of the system.
