classdef Experiment
    % An experiment class for OpenFLUX2 containing information about the
    %   data and the tracer as well as results form flux estimation.
    %   Use the SetUpExpt.m script to set up a new Experiment.
    %
    % description - a text description of the Experiment set up.
    % id - a 1-by-m cell matrix with the id of each metabolite, m is the
    %   number of metabolites relevant for the experiment.
    % msData - a n-by-m cell matrix with the MS-data for the experiment n is
    %   the number of datasets and m is the number of metabolites/states.
    % error - a same sized n-by-m cell matrix as msData that contains the
    %   coresponding measurement error. 
    % tracer - a text srting with the name of the tracer used in the
    %   experiment.
    % substrateInfo - a k-by-4 cell matrix contioning the labeling
    %   composition of the system substrates, k is the number of system
    %   substrates. This matrix is defined by the subsDef.m script. 
    % result - a result structure of class results.m that contains the
    %   result of a parameter estimation for the experiment.
