Dynamic mass balances on each metabolite Vtrans Vdeg Vsyn Vuse Time derivatives of metabolite concentrations are linear combination of the reaction rates. The reaction rates are non-linear functions of the metabolite concentrations (typically from in vitro kinetics). Where vj is the jth reaction rate, b is the transport rate vector, Sij is the “Stoichiometric matrix” = moles of metabolite i produced in reaction j
Flux-Balance Analysis • Make simplifications based on the properties of the system. • Time constants for metabolic reactions are very fast (sec - min) compared to cell growth and culture fermentations (hrs) • There is not a net accumulation of metabolites in the cell over time. • One may thus consider the steady-state approximation.
Flux-Balance Analysis • Removes the metabolite concentrations as a variable in the equation. • Time is also not present in the equation. • We are left with a simple matrix equation that contains: • Stoichiometry: known • Uptake rates, secretion rates, and requirements: known • Metabolic fluxes: Can be solved for! In the ODE cases before we already had fluxes (rate equations, but lacked C(t).
Additional Constraints • Fluxes >= 0 (reversible = forward - reverse) • The flux level through certain reactions is known • Specific measurement – typically for uptake rxns • maximal values • uptake limitations due to diffusion constraints • maximal internal flux
Flux Balance Example Flux Balances: A: RA – x1 – x2 = 0 B: x1 – RB = 0 C: 2 x2 – RC = 0 Supply/load constraints: RA = 3 RB = 1 RB x1 B RA A RC x2 2C Equations: A: x1+x2 = 3 B: x1 = 1 C: 2 x2 – RC = 0
FBA Example 1 B 1 3 A 4 2 2C
FBA • Often, enough measurements of the metabolic fluxes cannot be made so that the remaining metabolic fluxes can be calculated. • Now we have an underdetermined system • more fluxes to determine than mass balance constraints on the system • what can we do?
Incomplete Set of Metabolic Constraints • Identify a specific point within the feasible set under any given condition • Linear programming - Determine the optimal utilization of the metabolic network, subject to the physicochemical constraints, to maximize the growth of the cell Assumption: The cell has found the optimal solution by adjusting the system specific constraints (enzyme kinetics and gene regulation) through evolution and natural selection. Find the optimal solution by linear programming FluxC FluxB FluxA
Under-Determined System • All real metabolic systems fall into this category, so far. • Systems are moved into the other categories by measurement of fluxes and additional assumptions. • Infinite feasible flux distributions, however, they fall into a solution space defined by the convex polyhedral cone. • The actual flux distribution is determined by the cell's regulatory mechanisms. • It absence of kinetic information, we can estimate the metabolic flux distribution by postulating objective functions(Z) that underlie the cell’s behavior. • Within this framework, one can address questions related to the capabilities of metabolic networks to perform functions while constrained by stoichiometry, limited thermodynamic information (reversibility), and physicochemical constraints (ie. uptake rates)
Steady-state flux optima RC Flux Balance Constraints: RA< 1 molecule/sec (external) RA = RB(because no net increase) x1 + x2< 1 (mass conservation) x1 >0 (positive rates) x2 > 0 C x1 RB RA A B x2 D RD x2 Max Z=3 at (x2=1, x1=0) Feasible flux distributions Z = 3RD + RC (But what if we really wanted to select for a fixed ratio of 3:1?) x1
Applicability of LP & FBA • Stoichiometry is well-known • Limited thermodynamic information is required • reversibility vs. irreversibility • Experimental knowledge can be incorporated in to the problem formulation • Linear optimization allows the identification of the reaction pathways used to fulfil the goals of the cell if it is operating in an optimal manner. • The relative value of the metabolites can be determined • Flux distribution for the production of a commercial metabolite can be identified.
