dear Maura, i'm not expert on this and i'm not familiar with the SimBiology toolbox for MatLab, but i had once a nice short incursion into this subject with the book: S.P. Ellner and J. Guckenheimer Dynamic Models in Biology Princeton University Press (2006) http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8124.html from this web page you'll see that it has supplementary materials in the following link: http://www.cam.cornell.edu/~dmb/DMBsupplements.html which consist of both matlab and ** R ** scripts. cheers, robert.

The differential equations solvers (LSODA, etc.) used in Matlab are all available in R. You may need to set-up the equations yourself, from a format such as SBML. The capability is all there in R - maybe just not as nicely packaged and pre-digested as Matlab. If you access to programming resources, choose R.
