• [P1138] The Effects of Conservation Laws in Metabolic Networks
  Author(s): Ruiqi Wang
  
  

  Abstract
  Metabolism is characterized by intricate networks of interactions between biochemical fluxes, metabolic compounds, and regulatory interactions. To investigate and eventually understand the dynamic behaviors arising from such networks of interactions and their associated parameter values is often not possible by intuitive reasoning alone. In this paper, we study a class of metabolic networks, where the conservation laws can be used to identify the parameter range for normal living. The general results are verified by a simplified model of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis.
