Kinetiscope is a scientific software tool that provides the bench scientist with an easy-to-use, rapid, interactive method for the accurate simulation of chemical reactions.

This section introduces you to basic concepts underlying Kinetiscope. It briefly describes the models for chemical reaction kinetics and the fundamentals of stochastic simulation.

If you need to know the mechanism in advance, what does Kinetiscope get you? A. Running a simulation allows you to see if the mechanism is correct, and evaluate where changes need to be made.

For complex schemes, Kinetiscope provides a tool for selecting compartments and transfer paths based on their locations in the reaction volume, their orientation, colors and names.

Kinetiscope is completely self-contained, and requires no additional programming. You simply select the type of system, define its properties, and then input the reaction mechanism in conventional chemical notation, the rate constants for each step, and the run conditions.

When variable volume and/or variable temperature conditions are selected, you must supply Kinetiscope with more information for each species: physical state, density information, and/or thermochemical coefficients as needed.

Kinetiscope, based on that release of the CKS and VSIM source code, is an nearly complete redesign of the programs, targeting modern operating systems. Kinetiscope adds support for 64 bit computation, three-dimensional visualization of schemes and results, programmed voltage and external stimulus, and many other enhancements.

Kinetiscope has an auto-completion feature whose purpose is to reduce typing errors when entering reaction equations. As you type a reaction equation, Kinetiscope will pop up a list of species mnemonics already used in the reaction scheme …

It enables Kinetiscope to use special algorithms to handle these steps, which Kinetiscope would otherwise simulate inefficiently. Any steps which are to be monitored for equilibrium must be written as reversible steps.
