Control Analysis: a Theory that Works

  • Chapter
Control of Metabolic Processes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 190))

Abstract

Metabolic maps of the early 1950s showed enzymes interacting only with their immediate substrates, products and coenzymes. How a cell resisted marked changes in its flux rates in response to changes in concentrations of external substrates (even when none of its enzymes was saturated), or responded to changes in the concentrations of external effectors (e.g. hormones) was a mystery.
