  <help><![CDATA[Compute the Load points of a metabolic network. Load points constitute an indicator of lethality and can help identifying drug target.
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>
