To understand the behavior of the created directed unweighted metabolic network, the network properties path length, and degree distribution were investigated. These properties were obtained with the Cypher queries in Neo4j as depicted in Code Example 6. Mapping nodes were discarded from the degree analysis, and reaction nodes were ignored for the path calculation. The degree data was visualized using R, see source code visualizationScripts/PlotsInOutdegree.R.
