Metabolic flux analysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Metabolic flux analysis is an analysis technique similar to Flux Balance Analysis used to determine the rate at which a metabolite is produced during a bioprocess.

Actually it is not like FBA. Metabolic flux analysis is related to the use of 13C to determine pathway fluxes.[1][2][3][4]

See Isotopic labeling for more details.
