Weekly Lab Notebook
August 1 – August 7
Colin -

Anna - Continued on the COBRA script, looked more deeply into the COBRA functions as well. I will need to install everything on the server. How should I change the bound values? What sorts of boundaries should I set for the FVA, also how can I easily find reaction rates.
