Flux modeling

In this part of our modeling work we focus on genome scale analysis of the enterobactin production pathway. A major concern about our system is its non-orthogonality with the natural metabolic network of the cells : E.Coli already possesses the genes for producing enterobactins. Therefore we wanted to assess the possible interactions between our system and the bacterial metabolism.

Observations

This model stems from the following observations :
  • Enterobactin production pathway is a metabolic process;
  • Any of the involved metabolites may limit the rate of the reactions.
To keep in mind the figure 1 presents the reactions composing the enterobacting production pathway. enterobactin production pathway As we can see there are
