OpenFLUX: efficient modelling software for 13C-based metabolic flux analysis
Background The quantitative analysis of metabolic fluxes, i.e., in vivo activities of intracellular enzymes and pathways, provides key information on biological systems in systems biology and metabolic engineering. It is based on a comprehensive approach

Analyzing and Resolving Infeasibility in Flux Balance Analysis of Metabolic Networks
Flux balance analysis (FBA) is a key method for the constraint-based analysis of metabolic networks. A technical problem may occur in FBA when known (e.g., measured) fluxes of certain reactions are integrated into an FBA scenario rendering the underlying

Elementary vectors and conformal sums in polyhedral geometry and their relevance for metabolic pathway analysis [PDF]
A fundamental result in metabolic pathway analysis states that every flux mode can be decomposed into a sum of elementary modes. However, only a decomposition without cancelations is biochemically meaningful, since a reversible reaction cannot have ...

Transcript abundance on its own cannot be used to infer fluxes in central metabolism
An attempt has been made to define the extent to which metabolic flux in central plant metabolism is reflected by changes in the transcriptome and metabolome, based on an analysis of in vitro cultured immature embryos of two oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

The Metano Modeling Toolbox MMTB: An Intuitive, Web-Based Toolbox Introduced by Two Use Cases
Genome-scale metabolic models are of high interest in a number of different research fields. Flux balance analysis (FBA) and other mathematical methods allow the prediction of the steady-state behavior of metabolic networks under different environmental ...

Genome-scale architecture of small molecule regulatory networks and the fundamental trade-off between regulation and enzymatic activity [PDF]
Metabolic flux is in part regulated by endogenous small molecules that modulate the catalytic activity of an enzyme, e.g., allosteric inhibition. In contrast to transcriptional regulation of enzymes, technical limitations have hindered the production of ...

13C-based metabolic flux analysis
Stable isotope, and in particular (13)C-based flux analysis, is the exclusive approach to experimentally quantify the integrated responses of metabolic networks. Here we describe a protocol that is based on growing microbes on (13)C-labeled glucose and subsequent gas chromatography mass spectrometric detection of (13)C-patterns in protein-bound amino ...

Mapping the landscape of metabolic goals of a cell [PDF]
Genome-scale flux balance models of metabolism provide testable predictions of all metabolic rates in an organism, by assuming that the cell is optimizing a metabolic goal known as the objective function.
