However, the parameter estimation of biological processes has always been a challenging task due to the complexity and nonlinear equations. Therefore, we present this algorithm as a new approach for parameter estimation for biological interactions to obtain more accurate parameter values. The result shows that BA outperforms other estimation algorithms as it produces the most accurate kinetic parameters, which contributes to the precision of simulated kinetic model. %K Parameter Estimation %K Bees Algorithm %K Simulation %K Saccharomyces cerevisiae %K Glucose %K Glucose-6-Phosphate %K Fermentation Pathway %U http://campus.usal.es/~revistas_trabajo/index.php/2255-2863/article/view/10008
