Environmental flexibility does not explain metabolic robustness.

Abstract excerpt

Cells show remarkable resilience against genetic and environmental perturbations. However, its evolutionary origin remains obscure. In order to leverage methods of systems biology for examining cellular robustness, a computationally accessible way of quantification is needed. Here, we present an unbiased metric of structural robustness in genome-scale metabolic models based on concepts prevalent in reliability...
