+From Rahman et al. Observing local and global properties of metabolic pathways: ‘load points’ and ‘choke points’ in the metabolic networks. Bioinf. (2006):
+For a given metabolic network, the load L on metabolite m can be defined as :
+ln [(pm/km)/(∑Mi=1Pi)/(∑Mi=1Ki)]
+p is the number of shortest paths passing through a metabolite m;
+k is the number of nearest neighbour links for m in the network;
+P is the total number of shortest paths;
+K is the sum of links in the metabolic network of M metabolites (where M is the number of metabolites in the network).
+Use of the logarithm makes the relevant values more distinguishable.]]></help>
