Abstract Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are indispensable for studying and engineering cellular metabolism. Here, we present i CHO3K, a community-consensus, manually-curated reconstruction of the Chinese Hamster network. In addition to accounting 11004 reactions associated with 3597 genes, CHO3K includes 3489 protein structures structural descriptors >70% its 7377 metabolites, enabling deeper exploration link between molecular structure We used contextualize transcriptomics...

This paper presents Maud, a command-line application that implements Bayesian statistical inference for kinetic models of biochemical metabolic reaction networks. Maud takes into account quantitative information from omics experiments and background knowledge as well structural about mechanisms, regulatory interactions, enzyme knockouts. Our reviews the existing options in this area, case study illustrating how can be used to analyze network, explains biological, statistical, computational...

The Warburg effect is ubiquitous in proliferative mammalian cells, including cancer but poses challenges for biopharmaceutical production, as lactate accumulation inhibits cell growth and protein production. Previous efforts to eliminate production via knockout have failed bioprocessing since dehydrogenase has proven essential. However, here we eliminated the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) HEK293 cells by simultaneously knocking out regulators involved a negative feedback loop that typically...

Kinetic models of metabolism are crucial to understand the inner workings cell metabolism. By taking into account enzyme regulation, detailed kinetic can provide accurate predictions metabolic fluxes. Comprehensive consideration regulation requires highly parameterized non-linear models, which challenging build and fit using available modelling tools. Here, we present a computational package implementing GRASP framework for building cellular defining mechanisms reference state described by...
