Create a new compound process — create

Create a Process (a PK-Sim CompoundProcess) from named arguments. This is a thin factory around Process$new() that builds the raw list shape for you.

For richer process structures (such as parameters with full value origins), build the raw list directly or load a snapshot and copy the relevant entry.

Usage

create_process(
  internal_name,
  data_source,
  molecule = NULL,
  metabolite = NULL,
  species = NULL,
  parameters = NULL
)

Arguments

internal_name: Character. The PK-Sim InternalName for the process template (e.g. "SpecificBinding", "MetabolizationSpecific_MM", "GlomerularFiltration"). Required.
data_source: Character. The DataSource string identifying the process. Required.
molecule: Character. Optional molecule name for partial processes (e.g. the enzyme catalysing the reaction).
metabolite: Character. Optional metabolite name for enzymatic processes.
species: Character. Optional species name for species-dependent processes.
parameters: List of Parameter objects (created with create_parameter()) or raw parameter lists to attach to the process.

Value

A Process object.

Examples

# Minimal protein-binding process
p <- create_process(
  internal_name = "SpecificBinding",
  data_source = "Publication X",
  molecule = "Albumin"
)

# Metabolizing enzyme with a parameter
p <- create_process(
  internal_name = "MetabolizationSpecific_MM",
  data_source = "Optimized",
  molecule = "CYP3A4",
  metabolite = "Hydroxy-Drug",
  parameters = list(
    create_parameter(name = "Km", value = 1.2, unit = "µmol/l")
  )
)
