Description
Summary:To analyze and visualize metabolic networks are hot in systems biology. One of essential problems is to construct metabolic networks from numerous metabolic equations automatically and reasonably. Based on bipartite model, a method of construction metabolic networks from metabolic equations was proposed and the procedural steps of MATLAB were given. The output constructed networks were checked by visualization software of biological network. The result shows this method is feasible and suitable for general requirements of construction complex metabolic networks from numerous metabolic equations. The MATLAB scripts for our methods are available online at http://bioinf.jiangnan.edu.cn/.
