--- name: cobrapy description: "Constraint-based metabolic modeling (COBRA). FBA, FVA, gene knockouts, flux sampling, SBML models, for systems biology and metabolic engineering analysis." --- # COBRApy - Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis ## Overview COBRApy is a Python library for constraint-based reconstruction and analysis (COBRA) of metabolic models, essential for systems biology research. Work with genome-scale metabolic models, perform computational simulations of cellular metabolism, conduct metabolic engineering analyses, and predict phenotypic behaviors. ## Core Capabilities COBRApy provides comprehensive tools organized into several key areas: ### 1. Model Management Load existing models from repositories or files: ```python from cobra.io import load_model # Load bundled test models model = load_model("textbook") # E. coli core model model = load_model("ecoli") # Full E. coli model model = load_model("salmonella") # Load from files from cobra.io import
