1876 Rate - limiting Steps in Metabolic Pathways
A method is proposed to detect whether a given enzyme catalyzes a rate-limiting step in a metabolic pathway. With the use of a range of concentrations of specific inhibitors of an enzyme, the finding of a biphasic response with an initial null effect indicates the non-rate-limiting nature of the enzyme. With this method, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is indicated to catalyze a rate-limiting...
متن کاملRate-Limiting Steps in Yeast Protein Translation
Deep sequencing now provides detailed snapshots of ribosome occupancy on mRNAs. We leverage these data to parameterize a computational model of translation, keeping track of every ribosome, tRNA, and mRNA molecule in a yeast cell. We determine the parameter regimes in which fast initiation or high codon bias in a transgene increases protein yield and infer the initiation rates of endogenous Sac...
متن کاملKinetics of protein-ligand unbinding: Predicting pathways, rates, and rate-limiting steps.
The ability to predict the mechanisms and the associated rate constants of protein-ligand unbinding is of great practical importance in drug design. In this work we demonstrate how a recently introduced metadynamics-based approach allows exploration of the unbinding pathways, estimation of the rates, and determination of the rate-limiting steps in the paradigmatic case of the trypsin-benzamidin...
متن کاملPruning, pooling and limiting steps in metabolic networks
Dynamics of metabolic systems can be modelled by systems of differential equations. Realistic models of metabolism allowing to integrate genome scale data should have very large size and thus face problems related to incompleteness of the information on their structure and parameters. We discuss how model reduction techniques that use qualitative information on the order of magnitude of paramet...
متن کاملIdentification of rate-limiting steps in yeast heme biosynthesis.
The heme biosynthesis pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a highly regulated system, but the mechanisms accounting for this regulation remain unknown. In an attempt to identify rate-limiting steps in heme synthesis, which may constitute potential regulatory points, we constructed yeast strains overproducing two enzymes of the pathway: the porphobilinogen synthase (PBG-S) and deamin...
