Metabolic Control Analysis of Glycerol Synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Version 1

The main objectives of SysMO-DB are to: facilitate the web-based exchange of data between research groups within- and inter- consortia, and to provide an integrated platform for the dissemination of the results of the SysMO projects to the scientific community. We aim to devise a progressive and scalable solution to the data management needs of the SysMO initiative, that:

• maximises the ‘shelf life’ and utility of data generated by SysMO;
• provides an integrated platform for the dissemination ...

Glycerol, a major by-product of ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is of significant importance to the wine, beer, and ethanol production industries. This investigation aims to gain a clearer understanding of and to quantify the extent to which parameters of the pathway affect glycerol flux in S. cerevisiae.

This investigation represents the data and models submitted to JWS online by Cronwright et al (http://jjj.biochem.sun.ac.za/cgi-bin/getMoreInfo.py?modeldir=cronwright) and ...

This is a study of the glycerol synthesis pathway, using model predictions and experimental measurements

A kinetic model of the glycerol synthesis pathway has been constructed. Kinetic parameters were collected from published values. Maximal enzyme activities and intracellular effector concentrations were determined experimentally.
