- Description:
The modular decomposition of a metabolic network is discussed. We show that a metabolic network can be decomposed into isolated functional modules using the spectral method with knowledge of the chemical reactions alone. Moreover, it can be seen that the modular decomposition can be improved by taking the reaction dynamics into account. We present our work using the metabolic network obtained from a cell simulation model called Whole-Cell Model.
