Simulation and validation of modeled sphingolipid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Article Abstract:

A biochemical systems theoretical model of sphingolipid metabolism in yeast is validated experimentally. Simulations of metabolic fluxes, enzyme deletion and the effects of inositol has led to predictions that show significant concordance with experimental results generated post hoc.
