Current research in molecular genetics and success in developing methods for functional genomics and proteomics lead to an unrivaled knowledge on biological systems. Tools that allow for a quantitative description and analysis become therefore more and more important. The paper at hand introduces tools for model set up, dynamical simulation and analysis. The tools were successfully applied for a number of biological model systems. Tool ProMoT supports the automatical generation of model equations; the equations were afterwards solved numerically with Diva. To analyze the structure of and to calculate flux distributions in metabolic networks, the FluxAnalyzer was developed.
