The techniques of NMR spectroscopy and molecular genetics have provided new and powerful approaches to studying the control and organisation of cellular metabolism in vivo. We review here our recent applications of these methodologies to the study of energy metabolism in yeast and mammalian cells.

## Abstract Models of metabolic flux regulation are frequently based on an extrapolation of the kinetic properties of enzymes measured __in vitro__ to the intact cell. Such an extrapolation assumes a detailed knowledge of the intracellular environment of these enzymes in terms of their free substat
Ependymomas are glial cell-derived tumors. They are, in contrast t o other gliomas (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas), ill-defined with respect t o the genes and chromosomal segments important in their tumorigenesis. In this study, we extensively screened I 7 ependymomas for g
Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA), it has been shown that control on flux is in most cases shared by several enzymes rather than concentrated on one ``rate-limiting step.'' This analysis also allows the quantification of the control exerted by groups (modules) of enzymes. The modules may correspond t
Metabolic Control Analysis had originally been devised to quantify the effects of changes in enzyme concentrations on steady-state fluxes and metabolite concentrations. In many situations, fluxes and concentrations are not the only relevant variables. A formalism is presented by which the control of
The goal of this work was to obtain rapid sampling technique to measure transient metabolites in vivo. First, a pulse of glucose was added to a culture of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing aerobically under glucose limitation. Next, samples were removed at 2 to 5 s intervals and quenched us
