GECKO 3.0.0
After significant refactoring of the codebase, GECKO 3 is more user-friendly, flexibile and versatile than before.
Most notable changes:
- ecModels have an
.ec
structure containing all enzyme and kcat information. - Enzymes are incorporated in the S-matrix as MW/kcat (previously this was 1/kcat, where the MW was instead considered in the protein exchange reactions).
- ecModels can be stored in YAML file format that retains all model content.
- The model-provided list of EC numbers can be used.
- Various kcat sources can easily be combined.
- DLKcat is distributed as part of GECKO, as alternative kcat source.
- Enzyme complex data can be gathered and considered.
- All model-specific files and scripts are kept in the
userData
subfolder. - Model-specific
modelAdapter
files contain parameters that are used in model reconstruction and analysis. - Because of the above, there is virtually no backwards compatibility with GECKO versions 1 and 2, regarding both models and code.
