Finding metabolic pathways using atom tracking
MOTIVATION Finding novel or non-standard metabolic pathways, possibly spanning multiple species, has important applications in fields such as metabolic engineering, metabolic network analysis and metabolic network reconstruction. Traditionally, this has been a manual process, but the large volume of metabolic data now available has created a need for computational tools to automatically identif...
متن کاملA Method for Finding Metabolic Pathways Using Atomic Group Tracking
A fundamental computational problem in metabolic engineering is to find pathways between compounds. Pathfinding methods using atom tracking have been widely used to find biochemically relevant pathways. However, these methods require the user to define the atoms to be tracked. This may lead to failing to predict the pathways that do not conserve the user-defined atoms. In this work, we propose ...
متن کاملFinding Feasible Pathways in Metabolic Networks
Recent small-world studies of the global structure of metabolic networks have been based on the shortest-path distance. In this paper, we propose new distance measures that are based on the structure of feasible metabolic pathways between metabolites. We argue that these distances capture the complexity of the underlying biochemical processes more accurately than the shortest-path distance. To ...
متن کاملFinding minimal generating set for metabolic network with reversible pathways
Elementary flux modes give a mathematical representation of metabolic pathways in metabolic networks satisfying the constraint of non-decomposability. The large cost of their computation shifts attention to computing a minimal generating set which is a conically independent subset of elementary flux modes. When a metabolic network has reversible reactions and also admits a reversible pathway, t...
متن کاملFinding Minimal Reaction Sets in Large Metabolic Pathways
In systems biology, identifying vital functions like glycolysis from a given metabolic pathway is important to understand living organisms. In this paper, we particularly focus on the problem of finding minimal sub-pathways producing target metabolites from source metabolites. We represent laws of biochemical reactions in propositional formulas and use a minimal model generator based on a state...
