Determination of the order in which product-metabolites are produced when a metabolic network is feeded with the seed
[read more...]
The algorithm calculating a scope of a predefined seed in a given network works in an iterative manner, as described in the description of the "scope" function.
The iteration step in which a particular product-metabolite is incorporateted can be used to define its metabolic proximity to the seed. Also, it can be analysed whether particular metabolites only enable the production of further metabolites.
