ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we describe the steps needed to create a kinetic model of a metabolic pathway based on kinetic data from experimental measurements and literature review. Our methodology is presented by utilizing the example of trehalose metabolism in yeast. The biology of the trehalose cycle is briefly reviewed and discussed.
