How to Calculate Flux Limits
You can access
the "Calculate Flux Limits" option under the "Simulation -> Flux Variability Analysis" menu or
right clicking on the Metabolic Model icon on the clipboard.
This option allows you to calculate the minimum and maximum possible values for all the fluxes in the model. It also allows to constrain the value of the biomass flux to be larger than a pre-defined value. The simulations are always performed using Flux Balance Analysis (FBA).
You can select the model/project to work, and set up the calculation options.
1.Minimum Biomass
Define the minimum value for the biomass. If no contraint is desired, just set this value to zero.
2.Select Environmental Conditions
If you have loaded/created environmental conditions you can select them to be use as additional constraints.
Press OK, and check the result in the clipboard.
