SEARCH_reaction: SEARCH_reaction, a function to search for reactions in a model using a simple text query

Description

this function helps to search for reactions in a model using a simple text query, it returns a list of possible hits along with their reaction numbers, these reaction numbers are to be used with other perturbation/knockout/optimality/robustness analysis functions

Usage

SEARCH_reaction(react_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

react_name

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

Examples

#Search for reactions involving glucose
	data(Ecoli_core)	
	SEARCH_reaction("glucose",Ecoli_core)
