Contribution of metabolite interconversion functions to the best numerical solution of the simplified metabolic network model.

Abstract

<p>Numbers of metabolite interconversion functions are indicated on x- and y-axis. The colour bar indicates the relative decrease of the cost function value, i.e. improvement of solution, when a function or a combination of functions was varied during the optimization process. All cost function values were normalised to the best of all optimization runs (100%). Functions were optimized for the simulation of the metabolic homeostasis of Col-0 under extended darkness.</p
