Retrieve molecular weight for a quantity's molecule

Returns the molecular weight of the molecule for a given quantity. If no unit is provided, the value is returned in the base unit (kg/µmol).

Usage

getMolWeightFor(quantity, unit = NULL, stopIfNotFound = FALSE)

Arguments

quantity

A Quantity object.

unit

Optional. Target unit for the molecular weight. Defaults to kg/µmol.

stopIfNotFound

Logical. If TRUE, throws an error when the molecular weight cannot be retrieved. If FALSE, returns NA. Default is FALSE.

Value

The molecular weight in the specified unit or NA if not found.

Examples

simPath <- system.file("extdata", "Aciclovir.pkml", package = "ospsuite")
sim <- loadSimulation(simPath)
parameterPath <- "Organism|VenousBlood|Plasma|Aciclovir|Concentration"
quantity <- getQuantity(parameterPath, container = sim)
getMolWeightFor(quantity, unit = "g/mol")
