Coarse-Grained Metabolic Modeling and Flux Control

Explore coarse-grained metabolic modeling and flux control in this comprehensive lecture from the ICTP-ICTS Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology. Delve into the intersection of nonequilibrium physics, energy metabolism, and cell biology as Xingbo Yang presents advanced concepts in physical bioenergetics. Gain insights into cellular energy budgets, constraints on energy flows, and how these factors impact cellular functions. Examine the application of physics tools to study nonequilibrium systems in cell biology and understand the challenges involved. Ideal for PhD students, postdocs, and young faculty interested in quantitative problems in living systems, this lecture provides a broad exposure to cutting-edge research in cellular bioenergetics, biochemistry, and metabolism.
