findCurrencyMetabolites: Find currency metabolites

Description

Find currency metabolites in a metabolic network by the number of reactions using a metabolite.

Usage

findCurrencyMetabolites(object, ...)

Arguments

object

object 'modelorg' object

...

cutoff lower cutoff (default 20).

Value

character vector with the metabolite IDs of the currency metabolites.

Details

Identification is performed as follows: From the binary S-matrix is calculated in how many reactions a metabolite participates. If it participates in more than 'cutoff' reactions, it is returned as currency metabolited.
