UNIT II

MATERIAL BALANCES AND DATA CONSISTENCY

9

Comprehensive models of cellular reactions; stoichiometry of cellular reactions, reaction rates, dynamic mass balances, yield coefficients and linear rate equations, analysis of over determined systems- identification of gross measurement errors. Introduction to MATLAB®


UNIT III

METABOLIC FLUX ANALYSIS

9

Theory, overdetermined systems, underdetermined systems- linear programming, sensitivity analysis, methods for the experimental determination of metabolic fluxes by isotope labeling, applications of metabolic flux analysis.

UNIT IV

METABOLIC CONTROL ANALYSIS

9

Fundamentals of Metabolic Control Analysis, control coefficients and the summation theorems, Determination of flux control coefficients, MCA of linear pathways, branched pathways, theory of large deviations

UNIT V

ANALYSIS OF METABOLIC NETWORKS

Control of flux distribution at a single branch point, Grouping of reactions, case studies, extension of control analysis to intermetabolite, optimization of flux amplifications, consistencytests and experimental validation.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: After completion of metabolic engineering, students will be able
• To learn stoichiometry and energetics of metabolism.
• To apply practical applications of metabolic engineering in chemical,energy,medical and environmental fields.
• To integrate modern biology with engineering principles.
• To design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
