Statistical mechanics for metabolic networks during steady state growth
Single cell growth rate variability has been difficult to understand. Here, the authors apply a generalization of flux balance analysis to single cells based on maximum entropy modeling, and find that growth rate fluctuations of E. coli reflect metabolic flux variability and growth sub-optimality, i...
