Abstract

This 2-days course introduces principles of constraint-based modeling and computational design of metabolic networks coupled with a live demonstration and hands-on exercises with the MATLAB package CellNetAnalyzer (CNA) and its Python-variant CNApy.

Day 1

Overview of key methods of constraint-based modeling and metabolic network design (coupled with live demonstration of CNA and CNApy):

• Fundamentals of constraint-based modeling of metabolic networks
• Metabolic flux (balance) analysis
• Flux Variability analysis
• Phase planes and Yield spaces
• Metabolic pathway analysis
• Minimal cut sets and computational design of metabolic networks

Day 2

Hands-on exercises with CNA and CNApy: the participants will practice the use of CNA or/and CNApy by exercises with small example networks as well as with realistic metabolic models.
