Metabolic physiologists and metabolic engineers share the need to estimate flux. However, the physiologist often works with systems that do not maintain steady state for long. Many sites cannot be sampled, and calculating mass and isotopic balance for the entire system may not be feasible. To deal w

Applications of genetic engineering or metabolic engineering have increased in both academic and industrial institutions. Most current metabolic engineering studies have focused on enzyme levels and on the effect of the amplification, addition, or deletion of a particular pathway. Although it is gen
A mixed-integer linear program (MILP) is described that can enumerate all the ways fluxes can distribute in a metabolic network while still satisfying the same constraints and objective function. The multiple solutions can be used to (1) generate alternative flux scenarios that can account for limit
Predicting metabolic fluxes of a genetically engineered organism is an important step toward rational pathway design. However, because of various regulatory mechanisms, which are complex, often ill-characterized, and sometimes undiscovered, predicting metabolic fluxes using kinetic simulation is dif
