We propose String MultiSet Rewriting (SMSR) as an intermediate language for simulation of biomolecular systems. Higher level formalisms for biological systems description can be translated into SMSR and SMSR descriptions can be simulated by adapting an existing simulator. In this paper we show the translation of one of these formalisms, CLS+, into SMSR, and we prove correctness and completeness of the translation.
