'''Note:''' This plugin has been discontinued in current versions of OptFlux.

You can download it here -> [[Media:OptKnock_toy.zip| OptKnock_toy.zip]]
 
 
An illustrative image of this model can be found below.

The simple network is constituted of seven reactions. The reactions: Desired, Biomass and substrate represents the production of the biological coumpound of interest, the formation of biomass and the uptake of metabolite M1 from surrounding media, respectively.
 
 
The coefficient of reaction <b>R2</b> (M1->M3) are such that two molecules of M1 create one molecule of M3, while the stoichiometric coefficients of all other reactions reflect a one-to-one relationship between molecule quantities.
 
 
 
=Brief tutorial=
 
 
This brief tutorial will help you to begin working with OptKnock4OptFlux.
 
 
*To start, you will need load a model in OptFlux(see how to [[HowTos| here]]). You must pay attention to select a correct biomass flux.
 
 
==Run OptKnock==
 
 
* 1 - Start by accessing the menu '''Plugins->OptKnock->OptKnock Optimization'''.

<br>
 
<br>
 
 
* 2 - The following dialog will be displayed.

<br>
 
<b><i>Select Project and Model</i></b><br>
 
You can select the model/project to work.
 
<br><br>
 
<b><i>Substrate Definition</i></b><br>
 
You can select the substrate flux and its uptake value.
 
<br><br>
 
<b><i>Biomass Minimum Value</i></b><br>
 
You can define the minimum value for the biomass (in %).
 
<br><br>
 
<b><i>Desired Flux Definition</i></b><br>
 
You can select the reaction representing the production of the desired compound.
 
<br><br>
 
<b><i>Knockouts Definition</i></b><br>
 
You can define de maximum numbers of knockouts.
 
<br><br>
 
<b><i>Selected Environmental Conditions</i></b><br>
 
You can define the environmental conditions if you have created any.
 
<br>
 
<br>
 
 
* 3 - After execution, a new datatype will be placed in the clipboard, under the '''Optimizations Results -> OptKnock Optimizations'''.

Pressing it will launch three viewers.
