Catalyst.jl is a domain-specific language (DSL) for high-performance simulation and modeling of chemical reaction networks. Catalyst utilizes Symbolic ReactionSystems, leveraging ModelingToolkit to enable large-scale simulations through auto-vectorization and parallelism. ReactionSystems can be used to generate ModelingToolkit-based models, allowing easy simulation and parameter estimation of mass action ODE models, Chemical Langevin SDE models, stochastic chemical kinetics jump process models, and more. Generated models can be used with solvers throughout the broader SciML ecosystem, including higher-level SciML packages (e.g., for sensitivity analysis, parameter estimation, machine learning applications, etc.).

Note for version 8.0

Version 8.0 is a breaking release, moving to Catalyst the basic reaction system functionality that was previously in ModelingToolkit (i.e. ReactionSystem, Reaction, and other functions).

New as of 6.11

1. Plain text arrows "<--" and "<-->" for backward and reversible reactions are available if using Julia 1.6 or higher:

rn = @reaction_network begin 
  (k1,k2), A + B <--> C
  k3, 0 <-- C
end k1 k2 k3

2. Reaction networks can be named

rn = @reaction_network Reversible_Reaction begin
  k1, A --> B
  k2, B --> A
  end k1 k2 
nameof(rn) == :Reversible_Reaction

Note, empty networks can no longer be created with parameters, i.e. only

rn = @reaction_network          # uses a randomly generated name
rn = @reaction_network MyName   # is named MyName

are allowed.

3. Compositional modeling with generated ODESystems, see here for an example that composes three gene modules to make the repressilator.

Tutorials and Documentation

For information on using the package, see the stable documentation. The in-development documentation describes unreleased features in the current master branch.

Features

  • DSL provides a simple and readable format for manually specifying chemical reactions.
  • The Catalyst.jl API provides functionality for extending networks, building networks programmatically, and for composing multiple networks together.
  • ReactionSystems generated by the DSL can be converted to a variety of ModelingToolkit.AbstractSystems, including ODE, SDE, and jump process representations.
  • By leveraging ModelingToolkit, users have a variety of options for generating optimized system representations to use in solvers. These include construction of dense or sparse Jacobians, multithreading or parallelization of generated derivative functions, automatic classification of reactions into optimized jump types for Gillespie-type simulations, automatic construction of dependency graphs for jump systems, and more.
  • Generated systems can be solved using any DifferentialEquations.jl ODE/SDE/jump solver, and can be used within EnsembleProblems for carrying out GPU-parallelized parameter sweeps and statistical sampling. Plot recipes are available for visualizing the solutions.
  • Julia Exprs can be obtained for all rate laws and functions determining the deterministic and stochastic terms within resulting ODE, SDE, or jump models.
  • Latexify can be used to generate LaTeX expressions corresponding to generated mathematical models or the underlying set of reactions.
  • Graphviz can be used to generate and visualize reaction network graphs. (Reusing the Graphviz interface created in Catlab.jl.)

Illustrative Examples

Gillespie Simulations of Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics

rs = @reaction_network begin
  c1, S + E --> SE
  c2, SE --> S + E
  c3, SE --> P + E
end c1 c2 c3
p = (0.00166,0.0001,0.1)   # [c1,c2,c3]
tspan = (0., 100.)
u0 = [301., 100., 0., 0.]  # [S,E,SE,P]

# solve JumpProblem
dprob = DiscreteProblem(rs, u0, tspan, p)
jprob = JumpProblem(rs, dprob, Direct())
jsol = solve(jprob, SSAStepper())
plot(jsol,lw=2,title="Gillespie: Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics")

Adaptive SDEs for A Birth-Death Process

using Catalyst, Plots, StochasticDiffEq, DiffEqJump
rs = @reaction_network begin
  c1, X --> 2X
  c2, X --> 0
  c3, 0 --> X
end c1 c2 c3
p = (1.0,2.0,50.) # [c1,c2,c3]
tspan = (0.,10.)
u0 = [5.]         # [X]
sprob = SDEProblem(rs, u0, tspan, p)
ssol  = solve(sprob, LambaEM(), reltol=1e-3)
plot(ssol,lw=2,title="Adaptive SDE: Birth-Death Process")
