PERTURBATION ANALYSIS (SIMULATION) Prediction of changes in the specific glucose uptake rate for mathematical mutants. The values are the ratios of the specific glucose uptake rate for a mutant to that for wild type.
Dynamic simulations PtsI overexpression is effective for enhanced PLANT and increases cAMP
EXPERIMENT Enhanced specific glucose uptake by ptsI overexpression in an mlc knockout mutant as predicted.

PERTURBATION ANALYSIS (SIMULATION) In the improved model
Conclusion A computer-aided rational design approach was successfully applied to the Escherichia coli glucose PTS to increase the specific glucose uptake rate. The proposed method predicted that the mlc knockout mutant with ptsI gene overexpression greatly increases the specific glucose uptake rate and verified it by biological experiments.
