Abstract
This thesis presents a study of cell metabolism from a systems-level approach trying to unveil new mechanisms and responses impossible to reach by traditional reductionist procedures. Different methods and analysis techniques have been used, and each one has allowed to extract new insights about the properties of cell metabolism. Tools that belong to the complex network science and Systems Biology have been used. O n what follows, the conclusions of this thesis are given, answering to the objectives stated in Chapter 1.
