E. coli SBML files

SBML files contain reconstruction (see sbml.org for documentation)

  • reactions (format: ‘R_< reaction abbreviation >’)
    • reaction name, reversibility, reaction stoichiometry, gene-protein-reaction (GPR) association, subsystem, E.C. number
  • metabolites (format: ‘M_< metabolite abbreviation >_< compartment abbreviation >’)
    • metabolite name, compartment, charge, formula (appended to the end of the name, < metabolite name >_FORMULA)
  • Optional (files noted with a 'flux'): a flux distribution associated with a steady-state modeling simulation
    • lower bound, upper bound, objective coefficient, flux value, reduced cost

Reconstructions

core - E. coli core model - Ec_core_flux1.xml This is a condensed version of the genome-scale E. coli reconstruction and contains central metabolism reactions. The network contains 62 internal reactions, 14 exchange reactions and a biomass objective function. It is utilized extensively in Systems Biology: Properties of Reconstructed Networks by Bernhard O. Palsson as a teaching device.

File info: This flux distribution was generated using FBA optimizing for the flux through the 'Biomass_Ecoli_core_N (w/GAM)' reaction in the network. The constraining exchange reaction flux in the simulation is the 'Ex_glc(e)' reaction (glucose uptake of 10 mmol gDW-1 hr-1). Aerobic minimal media conditions. Also, a set non-growth associated maintenance of 7.6 mmol ATP gDW-1 hr-1 is constrained in the file using the 'ATPM' reaction. See file for all system constraints.
