modelorg2ExPA: Write an Instance of Class modelorg to File in ExPA Format

Description

The function modelorg2ExPA writes the content of an instance of class modelorg to text files in a format which can be read by the program ExPA to compute extreme pathways.

Usage

modelorg2ExPA(model, fname, exIntReact = NA, filepath = ".", suffix = "expa")

Arguments

model
An object of class modelorg.
fname
An single character string giving the filename to write to. Default: .expa.
exIntReact
An object of class reactId, character or integer, giving id's of internal reactions to exclude in the ExPA file. Default: NA.
filepath
A single character string giving the path to a certain directory in which the output files will be stored. Default: ".".
suffix
A single character string giving the file name extension. Default: "expa".

Value

  • Returns TRUE on success.

encoding

utf8

Details

The function modelorg2ExPA produces input files for the program ExPA. With ExPA, it is possible to calculate extreme pathways in metabolic networks.
