The project goal was to identify common drug targets of malaria parasites Plasmodium Falciparum and Plasmodium Berghei using genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs). Constraint-based approaches like Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) and Thermodynamics-based Flux Analysis (TFA) were used to perform mass and energy balances on the GEMs of the parasites.The project was coded in Matlab and used the software suite COBRA to compute quantitative predictions of the cellular biochemical networks with… Show more The project goal was to identify common drug targets of malaria parasites Plasmodium Falciparum and Plasmodium Berghei using genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs).
