RBA models

Below you can find RBA models for a number of organisms. RBA models are encoded in an XML format, which contains a large amount of information and is not designed to be human-readable. However, network structure, problem parameters, and simulation results can be exported and visualised as tables. To inspect the models and browse their contents, click on the pictures below. You will see an overview page from which you can download model and simulation results as table files. To display the various tables (describing compounds, reactions, proteins, and many other model components), you can click on the corresponding region of the overview graphics or use the dropdown menus on top of the page. The organism icon on top the page will bring you back to the model main page, the larger icon on the left brings you back to this page. See "HowTo" (in the dropdown menus) for details about browsing the models.
