Claim One:
1. A computer readable medium or media, comprising: (a) a data structure relating a plurality of Homo sapiens reactants to a plurality of Homo sapiens reactions, wherein each of said Homo sapiens reactions comprises a reactant identified as a substrate of the reaction, a reactant identified as a product of the reaction and a stoichiometric coefficient relating said substrate and said product, wherein at least one of said Homo sapiens reactions is annotated to indicate an associated gene; (b) a gene database comprising information characterizing said associated gene; (c) a constraint set for said plurality of Homo sapiens reactions, and (d) commands for determining at least one flux distribution that minimizes or maximizes an objective function when said constraint set is applied to said data representation, wherein said at least one flux distribution is predictive of a Homo sapiens physiological function.
