# Run FBA

Run constraint-based metabolic simulations and get the numbers out

## What this does

If you have a model of an organism's metabolism and want to know how material flows through it under given conditions, this runs those calculations for you. It handles the main variants, plus knocking out genes or reactions and changing what the organism is fed. You get flux numbers and spreadsheet files back.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Run a standard FBA simulation
- Try knocking out a gene or reaction
- Swap the carbon source and see what changes

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Run FBA

This runs Flux Balance Analysis and related constraint-based simulations using COBRApy. It covers standard FBA, parsimonious FBA, Flux Variability Analysis, and loopless FBA.

It also handles gene and reaction knockouts and carbon source swapping, so you can change the conditions and rerun.

Results come out as flux distributions and CSV files.

## Questions

### Is Run FBA safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Run FBA and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 12d3fd809fa9, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/fba-simulator.

### How do I install Run FBA?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/fba-simulator on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw/tree/12d3fd809fa9658e91a0328c3280a0e462c78386/external/agents/Biology-Agent/skills/fba-simulator. Install from that link, not the branch.
