Extends its parent class to manage modeling of large molecules (such as DNA)
with multiple binding sites (for example, for Transcription Factors)

|---|---|---|
| add_macromolecules | names: Union[str, List[str]] | None |

Any previously-set value (for that macromolecule/site_number/chemical) will get over-written.
IMPORTANT: Only 1 chemical (ligand type) can be associated to a particular site of a given macromolecule; attempting
to associate another one will result in error. In case multiple ligands can bind to the same physical site on
the macromolecule, simply assign multiple site numbers for each of them
NOTE: at present, no allowance is made for the fact that if the macromolecule is already bound
to chemical "X" then its affinity of "Y" might be different than in the absence of "X"
:param macromolecule: Name of a macromolecule; if not previously-declared,
it will get added to the list of registered macromolecules
:param site_number: Unique integer to identify a binding site on the macromolecule

if not found, an Exception will be raised

Data about all the chemicals and (if applicable) reactions,
including:
- names
- diffusion rates
- macro-molecules Binding Site Affinities (for Transcription Factors)
Notes: - for now, the temperature is assumed constant everywhere, and unvarying (or very slowly varying)
- we're using a "daisy chain" of classes extending the previous one, starting from ChemCore
and ending in this user-facing class:
ChemCore <- Diffusion <- Macromolecules <- ChemData
| name | arguments | returns |
|---|---|---|
| __init__ | names=None, labels=None, diffusion_rates=None, plot_colors=None | |
Any non-None arguments MUST all have the same length (and appear in the same order), or all be scalars.
It's ok to skip passing any data at instantiation, and later add it, with calls to add_chemical().
Reactions, if applicable, need to be added later by means of calls to add_reaction()
Macro-molecules, if applicable, need to be added later.
If no names nor labels are provided, but diffusion rate or plot colors are given,
the strings "Chemical 1", "Chemical 2", ..., are used
:param names: [OPTIONAL] A single name, or list or tuple of names, of the chemicals.
If not provided, the names are made equal to the labels.
If neither names nor labels is provided, "Chemical 1", "Chemical 2", ..., are used
(as many as the diffusion rates or plot colors)
:param labels: [OPTIONAL] A single label, or list or tuple of labels, of the chemicals,
in the same order as the names (if provided).
If not provided, the labels are made equal to the names.
If neither names nor labels is provided, "Chemical 1", "Chemical 2", ..., are used
(as many as the diffusion rates or plot colors)
:param diffusion_rates: [OPTIONAL] A non-negative number, or a list/tuple/Numpy array with the diffusion rates of the chemicals,
in the same order as the names/labels (if provided).
:param plot_colors: [OPTIONAL] A single name, or list or tuple of names, of the plotting colors for the chemicals,
in the same order as the names/labels (if provided).
