addExchReact: Add Exchange Reactions to a Model

In SysBioChalmers/sybil: Efficient Constrained Based Modelling

Add Exchange Reactions to a Model

Description

The function addExchReact adds exchange reactions for a set of metabolites to a metabolic model.

Usage

  addExchReact(model, met, lb, ub)

Arguments

model	An object of class modelorg.
met	A vector of character strings containing the metabolite id's to add exchange reactions for.
lb	A vector of numeric values of the same length as met containing the lower bounds for the exchange reactions. Default: rep(0, length(met)).
ub	A vector of numeric values of the same length as met containing the upper bounds for the exchange reactions. Default: rep(SYBIL_SETTINGS("MAXIMUM"), length(met)).

Details

If lb[i] < 0, the exchange reaction for the metabolite in met[i] is considered to be reversible, otherwise irreversible. A reaction id is generated for each exchange reaction by prepending the metabolite id's with the string "Ex_".

Value

An object of class modelorg
