MFAML: a standard data structure for representing and exchanging metabolic flux models.
CONCLUSIONS
MFAML is a standard data structure designed for the formal representation and effective exchange of metabolic flux models. It allows for the explicit description of stationary states of a metabolic system by defining environmental/genetic conditions of the system, e.g. flux measurements, balancing constraints and physiological objectives as well as basic information on metabolites and reactions. In addition, a library of MFAML comprising a model parser and a converter provides an open framework for establishing the pipeline from metabolic modeling to metabolic flux analysis.


BACKGROUND
MFAML (version 1) is fully described and available at http://mbel.kaist.ac.kr/mfaml/.
