New thermodynamic activity-based approach allows predicting the feasibility of glycolysis

Abstract Thermodynamic feasibility analyses help evaluating the feasibility of metabolic pathways. This is an important information used to develop new biotechnological processes and to understand metabolic processes in cells. However, literature standard data are uncertain for most biochemical reac...

description Abstract Thermodynamic feasibility analyses help evaluating the feasibility of metabolic pathways.
