## Setter method for the `boundMolecules` slot in a `parameterOptions` object.

### Description

Setter method for the `boundMolecules` slot in a `parameterOptions` object.

### Usage

    boundMolecules(object)<-value

### Arguments

`object` | `object` is a `parameterOptions` object.
`value` | `value` is a positive integer or vector of positive integers describing the number ofmolecules bound to DNA. Defaut value is 1000.

### Details

Default value: 1000 When computing occupancy (`computeOccupancy`), a value for the number of bound Molecules to DNA is needed. This value can be updated and set in a `parameterOptions` object. If the number of molecules is unknown, it is possible to infer this value with `computeOptimal`. We strongly encourage to set values when building a `parameterOptions` object.

### Value

Returns a `parameterOptions` object with an updated value for `boundMolecules`.

### Examples

    # Building parameterOptions object
    OPP <- parameterOptions()
    # Setting new boundMolecules value in OPP
    boundMolecules(OPP) <- 5000
    #Checking value in whole object
    OPP
    #Checking single value by slot accessor
    boundMolecules(OPP)
