The self-inhibitory nature of metabolic networks and its alleviation through compartmentalization

Metabolites act as enzyme inhibitors, but their global impact on metabolism has scarcely been considered. Here, the authors generate a human genome-wide metabolite-enzyme inhibition network, and find that inhibition occurs largely due to limited structural diversity of metabolites, leading to a glob...
