For gene deletion mutants, steady state flux is predicted using Boolean Logic Reactions for knockout gene = 0 Other reactions =1
Current problem: In gene deletion mutants, many gene expressions are varied, not digital. How to integrate transcriptome or proteome into metabolic flux analysis. Proposal: Elementary mode analysis is employed for such integration.

Enzyme Control Flux (ECF) ECF integrates enzyme activity profiles into elementary modes. ECF presents the power-law formula describing how changes in an enzyme activity profile between wild-type and a mutant is related to changes in the elementary mode coefficients (EMCs).

Expected advantage of GMF • Available to gene knockout, over-expressing or under-expressing mutants • MOMA/rFBA are available only for gene deletion, because they use Boolean Logic.

Is GMF applicable to over-expressing or less-expressing mutants? (FBA and MOMA are not applicable to these mutants.)

Summary of GMF • mCEF is combined to ECF for the accurate prediction of flux distribution of mutants. • GMF is applied to the mutants where an enzyme is over-expressed, less-expressed. It has an advantage over rFBA and MOMA.
Conclusion • ECF is available for the quantitative correlation between an enzyme activity profile and its associated flux distribution • GMF is a new tool for predicting a flux distribution for genetically modified mutants.
