1. Click the Complex icon on the Toolbar.
2. Move the cursor onto the Draw Area and click the left mouse button to place a Complex.
3. In the Name of the species dialog, type in a name.
4. Place several Species inside it. You can drag and drop the SpeciesAliases which already exist on the Draw Area to add to the complex.

You can name the Complex of your choice.Name can be a simple name or a long name with all the names of the items included.
e.g. Complex(ProteinA,ProteinB,…)

Relationship between Complex and Species inside

• You can modify individual Species inside the Complex box at any time. For example, you can add a residue, change the residue status, or change the name or class of the Species.
• The notes of the individual Species will be maintained even though you move the Species in and out of the Complex box.

To release a Complex

1. Simply drag the SpeciesAlias out of the Complex box.

Reactions connected to the complex will remain as long as the complex exists.
