FBA Optimization
This process is used to perform a basic FBA optimization. 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 Optimization |
Reaction File | The name of an FBA Reaction File containing a stoichiometric network. |
Constraints File | The name of a text file containing the user-defined flux constraints. See Constraints Files for further information. |
Objective Function | The objective function to be optimized. See FBA Objective Functions for further information. |
Optimization Sense | The sense, or direction, in which the objective function will be optimized. See Optimization Senses for further information. |
Program Solver | The name of the program solver to be used. See Program Solvers for further information. |
Optional Keywords | Possible Values |
Output File Name | The name of the file to which the computed values will be written. See FBA Single-Optimization Output Files for further information. |
Data Headers | The data headers of the specified output file. See FBA Optimization Data Headers for further information. |
Constraint Tolerance | The amount by which the linear program solver is allowed to violate the defined flux constraints. See Constraint Tolerances for further information. |
Safety Level | The safety level at which the optimizations will be performed. See Safety Levels for further information. |
Program Solver Parameter File | The name of the file containing parameters for the linear program solver. See Program Solver Parameter Files for further information. |
