The flux-summation theorem and the 'evolution of dominance'.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Oct 2008

Agutter Paul S

Abstract excerpt

The flux-summation theorem (FST) is a central principle of metabolic control analysis. It describes how the control of flux through any metabolic pathway of arbitrary complexity is distributed among the component reaction steps. Two issues concerning the FST are discussed in this paper. First, it has been suggested that the theorem could, in principle, be inapplicable under certain conditions, i.e. the sum of the...
