Metabolic engineering of sesquiterpene metabolism in yeast [PDF]
AbstractTerpenes are structurally diverse compounds that are of interest because of their biological activities and industrial value. These compounds consist of chirally rich hydrocarbon backbones derived from terpene synthases, which are subsequently decorated with hydroxyl substituents catalyzed by terpene hydroxylases.

Linking intra- and extra-cellular metabolic domains via neural-network surrogates for dynamic metabolic control [PDF]
We outline a modeling and optimization strategy for investigating dynamic metabolic engineering interventions. Our framework is particularly useful at the early stages of research and development, often constrained by limited knowledge and experimental data.

The virus as metabolic engineer [PDF]
AbstractRecent genome‐wide screens of host genetic requirements for viral infection have reemphasized the critical role of host metabolism in enabling the production of viral particles. In this review, we highlight the metabolic aspects of viral infection found in these studies, and focus on the opportunities these requirements present for metabolic ...

Mass Conservation And Inference of Metabolic Networks from High-throughput Mass Spectrometry Data [PDF]
We present a step towards the metabolome-wide computational inference of cellular metabolic reaction networks from metabolic profiling data, such as mass spectrometry. The reconstruction is based on identification of irreducible statistical interactions among the metabolite activities using the ARACNE reverse-engineering algorithm and on constraining ...
