Stoichiometric and constraint-based analyses of metabolic pathways has been gaining ground in the recent past with the increase in the quality and number of pathway databases available and the curation of genome-scale metabolic models. Genome-scale metabolic models of several organisms such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Staphylococcus aureus have already been constructed. Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) and Minimisation of Metabolic Adjustment (MoMA) are two of the popular…
