Flux Plasticity
Analysis
This process is used to analyze the plasticity of fluxes in a collection of flux interval vectors. A flux is considered:
For each vector of flux intervals supplied to this process, the number of fluxes in the above categories will be written to a specified output file. Additionally, the names of the reactions whose fluxes are never-active, potentially-active, and always-active can be recorded as well, for each flux interval vector. Here is the set of keywords this process understands, along with a description of their possible corresponding values. See the command line documentation for more information about keyword-value pairs. |
Required Keywords | Possible Values |
Process | FBA Flux Plasticity Analysis |
Reaction File | The name of an FBA Reaction File containing a stoichiometric network. |
Flux Interval File | The name of the file containing the sets of flux intervals to be analyzed. See Multiple-Flux Interval Vectors Files for further information. |
Zero Cutoff | The amount by which values can differ from zero, but still be considered equal to zero. See Zero Cutoffs for further information. |
Output File Name | The name of the file to which the results of the analysis will be written. The i-th line in this file corresponds to the i-th vector of flux intervals in the input file. |
Optional Keywords | Possible Values |
Always-Active Reaction File Name | The desired name of the file to which the sets of always-active reactions will be written. The i-th line in this file corresponds to the i-th set of flux intervals in the input file. |
Potentially-Active Reaction File Name | The desired name of the file to which the sets of potentially-active reactions will be written. The i-th line in this file corresponds to the i-th set of flux intervals in the input file. |
Never-Active Reaction File Name | The desired name of the file to which the sets of never-active reactions will be written. The i-th line in this file corresponds to the i-th set of flux intervals in the input file. |
