Popis: MotivationQueueing theory can be effective in simulating biochemical reactions taking place in living cells, and the article paves a step toward development of a comprehensive model of cell metabolism. Such a model could help to accelerate and reduce costs for developing and testing investigational drugs reducing number of laboratory animals needed to evaluate drugs.ResultsThe article presents a Krebs cycle model based on queueing theory. The model allows for tracking of metabolites concentration changes in real time. To validate the model, a drug-induced inhibition affecting activity of enzymes involved in Krebs cycle was simulated and compared with available experimental data.Availabilityand implementationThe source code is freely available for download at https://github.com/UTP-WTIiE/KrebsCycleUsingQueueingTheory, implemented in C# supported in Linux or MS Windows.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
