OptReg

General concept

Desired products can be obtained not only through the deletion of extant metabolic reactions, but also through the up- and down-regulation of other reactions. These modifications can be identified in silico. This method extends OptKnock by providing additional variables and non-linearities. These additions allow for the prediction of reactions that can be up- or down-regulated to aid in strain design.
