Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational framework for analyzing enzyme kinetics in metabolic networks.
  • To address uncertainty in kinetic data and identify rate-limiting steps.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the (log)linear formalism of metabolic control analysis.
  • Employed Monte Carlo sampling to simulate uncertainty in kinetic data.
  • Applied statistical tools for identifying rate-limiting steps.

Main Results:
