Analysis of a framework using material balances in metabolic pathways to elucidate cellular metabolism.

abstract：:The efficiency of a versatile in vivo cascade involving a promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase, obtained from a biodiversity search, and a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase was enhanced by the independent control of the production level of each enzyme to produce ε-caprolactone and 3,4-dihydrocoumarin. This goal was achieved ...
