How to optimize optimize the knockout set - Reaction Deletions
You can access
the "Reaction Knockout Optimization" option under the "Optimization" menu.
You can select the model/project to work, and set up your optimization configuration.
1.Select Project and Model
In the Project combo box select the project where you want to perform the optimization, in the Model combo box select the model within the project that you want to use (if you have performed model simplification, the simplified models will be easier to handle by the optimization algorithms).
2.Select Simulation Method
OptFlux can use several simulation methods, namely Flux-Balance Analysis, ROOM-LP, ROOM-MILP, MOMA. Check the Simulation How To's to find out more about these methods...
3.Select Environmental Conditions
If you have created environmental conditions you can select them to be used as constraints in the simulation.
4.Select Objective Function
OptFlux can use two types of objective function:
BPCY - Biomass-Product Coupled Yield, YIELD - Product Yield with Minimum Biomass.
The first calculates the product of the biomass flux and the compound production flux; the second, returns the value of the target compound production flux divided by the substrate consumption flux, if the biomass is larger than a minimum value, defined by the user.
5.Objective Function Configuration
Here you can select the flux to be optimize (the compound you wish to produce), the flux that represents the biomass and the substrate that is in use.
6.Select Optimization Algorithm
OptFlux allows you to perform optimizations using one of the following algorithms:
Cellular Genetic Algorithm, Evolutionary Algorithm, Simulated Annealing.
7.Optimization Basic Setup
Here you can configure the maximum number of solution evaluations (Simulations) and check the expected time to perform that number of evaluations.br>
You can also set up the maximum number of knockouts and if the set of knockouts should be static or have a variable size.
8.Essential information
You can define if it is possible to knockout some special type of reactions like drains, transport and critical reactions (if you have loaded/created this information).
And that's all, now you can press OK and check the results in the clipboard.
