% KINETICS STRUCTURE
%
% There are alternative ways to specify the kinetics, indicated by kinetics.type:
%       (see also network_velocities, set_formula_strings_kinetics, set_sat_kinetics_type,
%                 simulate_parameters)
%
% (i)   'numeric': the kinetics of all reactions are defined by a single m-file
%         kinetics.velocity_function   function handle
%         kinetics.parameters          strcuture containing the parameters
%
% (ii)  'mass-action': all reactions are of mass action type 
%        the parameters are given as vectors in fields
%         kinetics.k_fwd               forward rate constants
%         kinetics.k_bwd               backward rate constants, 
%         kinetics.exponents          for reactions of type 2A -> B, optional
%
% (iii) 'saturated': kinetics contains field 'reactions', a cell structure of
%        structure arrays, each describing one reaction: the kind of kinetics is 
%        given in the field
%
% (iv)  'formula_strings': kinetics contains field 'reactions', a cell structure of
%        structure arrays, each describing one reaction. parameter
%        names and values are given in a column cell array of strings
%        and a column vector, respectively.
