Practical 1 - Structural Properties of the Calvin Cycle
Introduction
In this practical we will investigate the general structural properites of the photosynthetic Calvin Cycle (see Slide 7 from the first talk) and seek to answer a specific question that is hard to answer simply by looking at the network diagram: "how can starch degradation act as a carbon source to generate triose phosphate?"
Methods
Part 1:
Download the Calvin cycle model.
Start ScrumPy and load the model:
>>> m = ScrumPy.Model("Calvin.spy")
- Locate the reactions and metabolites in the model on the network diagram.
- As far as possible, identify the routes by which triose phosphate species may be identified.
