Description

This is a chapter from the free textbook "Economic Principles in Cell Biology"

Enzyme-efficient states are metabolic states that realize a given flux objective at a minimal enzyme cost. In models without further constraints, enzyme-efficient states are Elementary Flux Modes (EFMs). Elementary Flux Modes can be used to find enzyme-efficient states in networks that would be too large to optimize metabolic states "by brute force". Biomass per enzyme efficiency can be converted to into cell growth rate. As growth conditions are changing, the flux profile either changes proportionally (and metabolite and enzyme concentrations change continuously) or fluxes change discontinuously together with metabolite and enzyme concentrations.
