Metabolic Control Analysis has invalidated many traditional biochemical concepts of control, in particular the rate-limiting step. However, it has not been used to question the mechanisms by which pathway flux is thought to be controlled, such as the action of allosteric effectors or of covalent mod

The problems of engineering increased flux in metabolic pathways are analyzed in terms of the understanding provided by metabolic control analysis. Overexpression of a single enzyme is unlikely to be effective unless it is known to have a high flux control coefficient, which can be used as an approx
Grouping of reactions around key metabolite branch points can facilitate the study of metabolic control of complex metabolic networks. This top-down Metabolic Control Analysis is exemplified through the introduction of group (flux, as well as concentration) control coefficients whose magnitudes prov
Using the carbon isotope labeling technique, the response of cyanobacterial central carbon metabolism to the change in environmental conditions was investigated. Synechocystis was grown in the heterotrophic and mixotrophic cultures fed with 13C-labeled glucose. The labeling patterns of the amino aci
On the basis of experimental data obtained in vitro, we propose that differential segregation of actin and tubulin in the cytoplasm may be a regulatory mechanism of metabolic fluxes. The results presented point out that the same enzymes may be differentially modulated at different locations in the c
