Abstract：
:An inherent problem in studying the behavior of a metabolic pathway is the impossibility of developing a complete, detailed model that includes all the cellular processes that have an impact on the set of fluxes in such a pathway. Lacking this, one requires some means of modeling the interactions between a metabolic pathway and other cellular processes for the purpose of analyzing pathway characteristics within the cell (e.g., determining sensitivity coefficients for various steps in the pathway) with a minimal amount of time and effort. A general framework is developed for studying these issues in a rigorous manner. Using this framework, detailed knowledge about a metabolic pathway (i.e., a set of rate expressions for steps in the pathway) can be combined with the results from a relatively simple set of experiments in order to obtain estimates for the sensitivity of the pathway to enzyme activities, inhibition constants, and other parameters that determine the pathway's behavior, while accounting for the pathway's interaction with the rest of the cellular metabolism. A model system representing amino acid production is used to illustrate the problem and to provide results based on computational experiments. The modeling strategy described here should be useful in genetic design to improve pathway fluxes and metabolic network selectivity.
