Stoichiometric analysis of metabolic networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major current challenge in systems biology is to clarify the relationship between structure, function and regulation in complex metabolic networks reconstructed from genomic data. However, dynamic mathematical modeling of large-scale networks meets difficulties as the necessary mechanistic detail and kinetic parameters are rarely available. In contrast, structure-oriented (stoichiometric / constraints-based) analyses only require network topology, which is often well-known.

Basic concepts and principles of stoichiometric modeling of metabolic networks.
Metabolic networks supply the energy and building blocks for cell growth and maintenance. Cells continuously rewire their metabolic networks in response to changes in environmental conditions to sustain fitness. Studies of the systemic properties of metabolic networks give insight into metabolic plasticity and robustness, and the ability of organisms to cope with different environments. Constra...
متن کاملAdvanced stoichiometric analysis of metabolic networks of mammalian systems.
Metabolic engineering tools have been widely applied to living organisms to gain a comprehensive understanding about cellular networks and to improve cellular properties. Metabolic flux analysis (MFA), flux balance analysis (FBA), and metabolic pathway analysis (MPA) are among the most popular tools in stoichiometric network analysis. Although application of these tools into well-known microbia...

The metabolism of organisms can be studied with comprehensive stoichiometric models of their metabolic networks. Flux balance analysis (FBA) calculates optimal metabolic performance of stoichiometric models. However, detailed biological interpretation of FBA is limited because, in general, a huge number of flux patterns give rise to the same optimal performance. The complete description of the ...

متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Stoichiometric Networks: An Extension of Metabolic Control Analysis to Non-equilibrium Trajectories
A sensitivity analysis of general stoichiometric networks is considered. The results are presented as a generalization of Metabolic Control Analysis, which has been concerned primarily with system sensitivities at steady state. An expression for time-varying sensitivity coefficients is given, and the Summation and Connectivity Theorems are generalized. The results are compared to previous treat...
