MATLAB: SBML import in Matlab

crashsbml importSimBiology

Hi,
I try to import this model (.sbml format) in Simbiology http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/3/70/additional/ but it always crashes. I tried this with a few different versions of Matlab/Simbiology and all crash…
Is there a way I can import this model in Matlab?
Thank you,
Razvan

Hi Razvan,
The problem is that three species in the file (Gpr1Glucout, Gpa2a, and Gpa2aKrh) have a negative concentration, which is not supported by SimBiology. There is a bug in SimBiology that causes it to crash instead of error gracefully. If you edit the file and change these initial concentrations to 0 you should be able to load the file.
