Counting and Correcting Thermodynamically Infeasible Flux Cycles in Genome-Scale Metabolic Networks

Thermodynamics constrains the flow of matter in a reaction network to occur through routes along which the Gibbs energy decreases, implying that viable steady-state flux patterns should be void of closed reaction cycles. Identifying and removing cycles in large reaction networks can unfortunately be...
