In FAMetA: Fatty Acid Metabolic Analysis

calculate FA isotope distribution for elongated FAs using the quasi multinomial distribution.

Description

calculate FA isotope distribution for elongated FAs using the quasi multinomial distribution.

Usage

elongationqmult(S16, D1, D2, P, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, M, vcomb16, mcombe)

Arguments

S16	fraction of newly synthesized palmitate.
D1	tracer contribution to M+1 acetate pool.
D2	tracer contribution to M+2 acetate pool.
P	overdispersion parameter. If different to 0, quasi-multinomial distribution is obtained, while if set to 0, it is simplified to a multinomial distribution.
E1	fraction of elongated C18 FA from C16.
E2	fraction of elongated C20 FA from C18.
E3	fraction of elongated C22 FA from C20.
E4	fraction of elongated C24 FA from C22.
E5	fraction of elongated C26 FA from C24.
M	total number of carbons for the FA.
vcomb16	list of acetate combinations for C16 synthesis obtained with combAcetate(16) function.
mcombe	list of acetate combinations for each elongation step obtained with combAcetate(2) function.

Value

FA isotope distribution.
