A software package suitable for personal computers and designed to handle simulation and fitting problems related to the study of biomolecules under pre-steady and steady state conditions is presented, and its overall architecture as well as the implemented algorithms illustrated. The peculiar features of the package are: (i) integrated capability of simulating dynamic models and fitting to them experimental data; (ii) handling of stiff problems; (iii) free use of algebraic as well as differential equations; (iv) objective comparison of models of different complexity. The above features are discussed through a number of examples taken from the direct experience of the authors in enzyme kinetics and ligand binding.
