A Study of the Short and Long-term Regulation of E. coli Metabolic Pathways

The present study addresses the regulatory network of Escherichia coli and offers a global view of the short- and long-term regulation of its metabolic pathways. The regulatory mechanisms responsible for key metabolic activities and the structure behind such mechanisms are detailed. Most metabolic f...
