#This demonstration shows two coordinator and their rules that control translocation
 +
#into and out of a spherical compartment represented by a third coordinator.
 +
#
 +
#In this example, blue molecules (ligand) bind to a surface receptor (black) and are
 +
#translocated INTO the compartment where they change color to yellow.  A state change in
 +
#the ligand molecules then allows them to bind a second receptor (grey) that translocates
 +
#them OUT OF the compartment.

#translocation demonstration
 +
#In this example, a blue particle (ligand) binds to a surface receptor and is translocated past the
 +
#membrane (mediated by the black receptor) where it changes color to yellow. 
 +
#Once on the other side of the membrane, the particle may then bind a second
 +
#receptor (grey) that translocates it back to the top of the membrane
 +
#Use of the two different receptors for translocation "in and out" is controlled by
 +
#a feature-state pair.
 +
#Planar coordinators are not compartments in the sense that molecules can move in and out of them.
 +
#Instead, they represent barriers within a compartment (in this case the simulation)
 +
#that molecules can move past with the help of a mediator molecule (the black and grey receptors).

#rules.2.txt
#This demonstration shows a somewhat more complex use of rules to 
#demonstrate the process of lateral signalling.
#In this example, a ligand molecule binds to a membrane-bound receptor.  
#On binding, the receptor changes state (becomes activated) as indicated by 
#a colour change.  The receptor in this new state also gains the ability to 
#bind to and activate other membrane bound receptors.
#
#No new concepts are introduced in this model compared to the rules.1.txt
#example so there are few comments in the file.
#See the "Making Models" section of the Magrathea manual for more details
#on the syntax of each line
# 
#after a molecule x changes state, molecule x and all molecule types that might be coordinated 
#in some coordinator with molecule x have there neighborhood size reset
#turn on #show-neighbor-lines 1# to see how this happens

#
#translocation demonstration
#In this example, a blue particle (ligand) binds to a surface receptor and is translocated past the
#membrane (mediated by the black receptor) where it changes color to yellow.  
#Once on the other side of the membrane, the particle may then bind a second
#receptor (grey) that translocates it back to the top of the membrane
#Use of the two different receptors for translocation "in and out" is controlled by
#a feature-state pair.
#Planar coordinators are not compartments in the sense that molecules can move in and out of them.
#Instead, they represent barriers within a compartment (in this case the simulation)
#that molecules can move past with the help of a mediator molecule (the black and grey receptors).
#
#See the "Making Models" section of the Magrathea manual for more details
#on the syntax of each line
# 
#last tested with breve 2.6.1 and magrathea.tz 1.44
#at the time of testing, neighbor lines are only drawn if breve 2.5 is used

#This very simple example demonstrates the syntax for specifying rules

#In this example, a molecule may be created or destroyed at each time-step
