Book description
Recent technological advances have enabled comprehensive determination of the molecular composition of living cells. The chemical interactions between many of these molecules are known, giving rise to genome-scale reconstructed biochemical reaction networks underlying cellular functions. Mathematical descriptions of the totality of these chemical interactions lead to genome-scale models that allow…

Why read it?
1 author picked Systems Biology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
An outstanding and authoritative reference on metabolic networks. Discusses all the mathematical foundations of constraint-based methods, followed by detailed discussions of various constraint-based modelling methods. Despite the age, this remains a thorough and excellent account of constraint-based modelling. A revised second edition of this book presents a more detailed overview of metabolic networks in different organisms and is up-to-date with several advances in the field. Palsson is one of the leaders in the field of systems biology and metabolic networks, and his lab is home to many of the most important constraint-based modelling methods, such as flux balance analysis.
From Karthik's list on modelling biological systems and networks.
