PROPOSAL OF A COMPUTATIONAL PLATFORM FOR MODELING BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS BASED ON METABOLIC NETWORKS

Favorite this paper

Modeling the metabolism of a microorganism of interest is important to help improve its productivity. In this work we propose a computational tool applied to metabolic engineering that consists of a central application and some modules that can perform different calculations, such as MFA, elementary flux modes, and kinetic modeling. The structure of this program is designed so that new modules can be developed in the future to increase the program's functionalities. As distinct analyses are normally conducted when studying a metabolic network, this unique platform is an important resource for researches in this field.
