Outline • Glycolysis; a central metabolic pathway • Fundamental structure (m x n = 20 x 21) • Co-factor coupling (NAD, ATP, Pi) • The stoichiometric matrix • Its null spaces • Setting up a simulation model • Steady state • Interpreting the results from simulation • Concentrations, fluxes, pools, ratios
Compounds: the nodes pathway intermediates cofactors carriers
The Stoichiometric Matrix 3 pathways dim(Null)=21-18=3 dim(Left Null)=20-18=2 mxn=20x21, Rank(S)=18 2 conserved moieties
Glycolysis: Pathways in Null(S)Selected basis based on biochemical intuition ~P synthesis redox coupling inventory of AMP
The Steady State Fluxes (mM/hr):fluxes have to balance the network upper glycolysis lower glycolysis AMP exchange & demand fluxes

Summary • First draft dynamic models can be obtained from using measured concentration values, elementary reactions, and associated mass action kinetics. • This first draft can be used as a scaffold to build more complicated models that include regulatory effects and interactions with other pathways. • Dynamic simulation can be performed for perturbation in environmental parameters and the responses examined in terms of the concentrations and the fluxes. • A metabolic map can be analyzed for its stoichiometric texture to assess the co-factor coupling • Such breakdown of the biochemistry helps define pools that are physiologically meaningful from a metabolic perspective, and are context dependent.
Summary • The raw output of the simulation can be post processed with a pooling matrix that allows the pools and their ratios to be graphed to obtain a deeper interpretation of dynamic responses. • Some of the responses are built into the topological features of a network and require no regulatory action. • The identification of the reactions that move the key pools is possible by the use of the stoichiometric matrix.
