Modeling metabolism


 

Metabolism describes the conversion of nutrients into cellular building blocks and energy. Mathematical models - ranging form single metabolic pathways such as glycolysis to genome-scale metabolic networks - allow to unravel underlying regulatory mechanisms as well as to understand systemic features not accessible to experimental analyses. In addition, those models can predict essential features of the investigated systems, thus generating hypotheses for experimental validation and future research.
