Procedure for Defining Spatially Variable Decay Rates

The steps required to create a spatially variable Decay Rate are outlined below.  The procedure would be identical for creating spatially variable Stoichiometries.

1.  Identify the pathway(s) and/or Source(s) which will utilize spatially variable decay rates.

2.  Localize the Containers that those pathways/Sources are located in.

3.  Create a clone of the Species element in each of those localized Containers. (Note that unlike most other elements in GoldSim, all clones of the Species element are forced to have the same ID.  As a result, Species clones must be placed in localized Containers).

4.  Insert elements defining the spatially variable decay rates in each localized Container, and link them to each local Species clone.  Note that these elements must have the same name (since they are referenced by a cloned Species element), but they themselves should not be clones.
