MOTIVATION: A better understanding of the biological phenomena observed in
cells requires the creation and analysis of mathematical models of cellular
metabolism and physiology. The formulation and study of such models must
also be simplified as far as possible to cope with the increasing
complexity demanded and exponential accumulation of the metabolic
reconstructions computed from sequenced genomes. RESULTS: A mathematical
simulation workbench, DBsolve, has been developed to simplify the
derivation and analysis of mathematical models. It combines: (i) derivation
of large-scale mathematical models from metabolic reconstructions and other
data sources; (ii) solving and parameter continuation of non-linear
algebraic equations (NAEs), including metabolic control analysis; (iii)
solving the non-linear stiff systems of ordinary differential equations
(ODEs); (iv) bifurcation analysis of ODEs; (v) parameter fitting to
experimental data or functional criteria based on constrained optimization.
The workbench has been successfully used for dynamic metabolic modeling of
some typical biochemical networks (Dolgacheva et al., Biochemistry
(Moscow), 6, 1063-1068, 1996; Goldstein and Goryanin, Mol. Biol. (Moscow),
30, 976-983, 1996), including microbial glycolytic pathways, signal
transduction pathways and receptor-ligand interactions. AVAILABILITY:
