Abstract

Reactions within the cell should satisfy the law of mass conservation and the second law of thermodynamics. Networks of reactions violating any of these laws are unphysical and cannot occur in nature. In this paper we describe a technique that perturbs an unfeasible network to produce a metabolic network that satisfies the two fundamental laws. This algorithm has been applied to study the metabolic pathways of E. coli.
