Where can I find information on computational algorithms for metabolic analysis?
Information on computational algorithms used in metabolic analysis is not readily available on the net. There is only one site which currently has any information on algorithms (and not too much either) used in metabolic analysis and that is the site at: http://cds.caltech.edu/~hsauro [7.3] What advantages does modelling have over algebraic analysis? Before metabolic control analysis existed modelling of metabolic systems in the computer was the only realistic way that a biochemist could get any idea of how a complex metabolic system might behave in different conditions. However, it was very demanding, in terms both of computer expertise and indeed of hardware, and as a result its use was confined to a few experts and the insights that came from it were very little diffused in the biochemical world. The situation has now completely changed in that a number of powerful programs are widely available for use on common computer systems without particular expertise in computational or model
