Description

Introduction to constrained based modelling of metabolic networks and using COBRApy to simulate the systems at steady state. The tutorial introduces how to model metabolic networks, at steady state, using a system of linear equations and how to use the python library COBRApy, which employs the mathematical tool, of linear programming, to simulate the model. The tutorial is written in a Jupyter notebook and the exercises can be input directly in the file. The tutorial is designed for self instruction.
