MPS: An algorithm and data base for metabolic pathway synthesis

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

MPS is a software package for synthesizing metabolic pathways. Based on the concepts of artificial intelligence, it is designed to find the possible pathways to transform a given metabolite to a given target metabolite. MPS can be used to predict on a qualitative basis the effects of adding or deleting enzymatic activity from the cellular environment and to classify pathways with respect to cellular objectives.
