A system architecture for parallel analysis of flux-balanced metabolic pathways
In this paper, a system architecture is proposed that approximately models the functionality of metabolic networks. The AND/OR graph model is used to represent the metabolic network and each processing element in the system emulates the functionality of a metabolite. The system is implemented on a graphics processing unit (GPU) as the hardware platform using CUDA environment. The proposed architecture takes advantage of the inherent parallelism in the network structure in terms of both pathway and metabolite traversal. The function of each element is defined such that it can find flux-balanced pathways. Pathways in both small and large metabolic networks are applied to the proposed architecture and the results are discussed.

Metabolic fluxes and value production
Metabolic fluxes in cells are governed by physical, physiological, and economic principles. Here I assume an optimal allocation of enzyme resources and postulate a general principle for metabolism: each enzyme must conve…
Stochastic simulation algorithm for isotope-based dynamic flux analysis
Carbon isotope labeling method is a standard metabolic engineering tool for flux quantification in living cells. To cope with the high dimensionality of isotope labeling systems, diverse algorithms have been developed to…
Deciphering noise amplification and reduction in open chemical reaction networks
The impact of random fluctuations on the dynamical behavior a complex biological systems is a longstanding issue, whose understanding would shed light on the evolutionary pressure that nature imposes on the intrinsic noi…
Classification of Astronomical Spectra Using PCA-Compressed Flux and Inverse-Variance Features
This paper evaluates a signal-processing and supervised-learning pipeline for classifying SDSS DR17 astronomical spectra into stars, galaxies, and quasars. Each spectrum is represented by its measured flux and inverse-va…
Modeling Cell Size Distribution with Heterogeneous Flux Balance Analysis
For over two decades, Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) has been successfully used for predicting growth rates and intracellular reaction rates in microbiological metabolism. An aspect that is often omitted from this analysis,…
