% concentrationMatrix   Matrix of extracellular metabolite concentrations
% excRxnNames           Names of exchange reactions for the EC metabolites

% If no initial concentration is given for a substrate that has an open
% uptake in the model (i.e. model.lb < 0) the concentration is assumed to
% be high enough to not be limiting. If the uptake rate for a nutrient is
% calculated to exceed the maximum uptake rate for that nutrient specified
% in the model and the max uptake rate specified is > 0, the maximum uptake 
% rate specified in the model is used instead of the calculated uptake rate.
%
% NOTE: The dynamic FBA method implemented in this function is essentially 
% the same as the method described in
% [Varma, A., and B. O. Palsson. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:3724 (1994)].
% This function does not implement the dynamic FBA using dynamic optimization approach
% described in [Mahadevan, R. et al. Biophys J, 83:1331-1340 (2003)].
