Metabolic Flux Analysis: Understanding and Applications in Biotechnology

Abstract

Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is a powerful tool used to quantify the flow of metabolites through metabolic pathways. This paper aims to explore the principles, methodologies, and applications of MFA in biotechnology. By integrating data from various sources and applying computational models, MFA provides insights into cellular metabolism, aiding in the optimization of industrial processes, the development of therapeutic strategies, and the enhancement of our understanding of metabolic diseases.
