CHANGE_RXN_BOUNDS: CHANGE_RXN_BOUNDS, Change Reaction Bounds

Description

this function helps to modify the bounds on the fba_object, it returns an object of the same type as the model, inspired by the COBRA-function of the same name

Usage

CHANGE_RXN_BOUNDS(reaction_number,fba_object,lower_bound,upper_bound)

Arguments

fba_object

is a list containing the data required to perform flux balance analysis. The elements of the list are mat which is the stoichiometric matrix, dir which gives the direction of the equality constraints, obj specifies the objective function for the s

lower_bound

the new value of the lower bound

upper_bound

the new value of the upper bound

reaction_number

the reaction number of the reaction the bounds of which have to be changed

Examples

#Changing Reaction Bounds, to simulate the deletion/inhibition of a reaction.
	data(Ecoli_core)	
	Ec_mutant<-CHANGE_RXN_BOUNDS(reaction_number=36,fba_object=Ecoli_core,
	lower_bound=0,upper_bound=0)
