SEARCH_metabolite: SEARCH_metabolite, a function to search for metabolites in a model using a simple text query

Description

this function helps to search for metabolites in a model using a simple text query, it returns a list of possible hits along with their metabolite numbers and locations in the compartments of the model

Usage

SEARCH_metabolite(metabolite_name,fba_object)

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 simu

metabolite_name

is a character string containing a part or the complete name of the metabolite to be searched for in the fba object
