Abstract

In response to environmental and genetic perturbations, micro-organisms may regulate their metabolism both metabolically – via metabolite-enzyme interactions – and hierarchically – via modulating enzyme capacities. In this report, we develop a combined metabolic and genetic regulatory model of E. coli that may be used to test this multi-scale response.
