Previously, none of the proteins belonging to this metabolic network had been characterized structurally.

A frequently used technique to search a metabolic network for reactions that are particularly critical to the production of biomass.

Visualization of time-series in the context of the metabolic network.

Following this seminal paper, other authors described the whole metabolic network of a minimal cell.

The efficiency of mass transfer in a metabolic network can be judged by studying its average path length.

This collection of pathways is called the metabolic network.

For any particular metabolic network, there is always a unique set of extreme pathways available.

Similar to extreme pathways, there is always a unique set of elementary modes available for a particular metabolic network.

According to Stelling (2002), elementary modes can be used to understand cellular objectives for the overall metabolic network.

A different technique to simulate the metabolic network is to perform flux balance analysis.
