Questions

• How can I get started with metabolic models?

Objectives

• Learn the intuition behind flux balance analysis using a toy model

• Learn how to use FBA to design cell factories using the ABC model

Key Points

• load_model can be used to load a model.

• model.solve() simulates the model.

• reaction.flux contains the computed flux of the reaction.

• model.solve() also returns a solution object that contains the simulation results.
