Abstract Genome‐scale metabolic models provide a valuable resource to study metabolism and cell physiology. These are employed with approaches from the constraint‐based modeling framework predict physiological phenotypes. The prediction performance of genome‐scale can be improved by including protein constraints. resulting protein‐constrained consider data on turnover numbers ( k cat ) facilitate integration abundances. In this systematic review, we present discuss current state‐of‐the‐art regarding estimation kinetic parameters used in models. We also highlight how data‐driven aid their usage improving predictions cellular Finally, identify standing challenges perspective future improve predictive performance.

Turnover numbers characterize a key property of enzymes, and their usage in constraint-based metabolic modeling is expected to increase the prediction accuracy diverse cellular phenotypes. In vivo turnover can be obtained by integrating reaction rate enzyme abundance measurements from individual experiments. Yet, contribution improving predictions condition-specific phenotypes remains elusive. Here, we show that available vitro lead poor growth rates with protein-constrained models Escherichia coli Saccharomyces cerevisiae, particularly when protein abundances are considered. We demonstrate correction simultaneous consideration proteomics physiological data leads improved rates. Moreover, estimates more precise than corresponding numbers. Therefore, our approach provides means correct paves way towards cataloguing kcatomes other organisms.

Stoichiometric genome-scale metabolic models (generally abbreviated GSM, GSMM, or GEM) have had many applications in exploring phenotypes and guiding engineering interventions. Nevertheless, these predictions thereof can become limited as they do not directly account for protein cost, enzyme kinetics, cell surface volume proteome limitations. Lack of such mechanistic detail could lead to overly optimistic engineered strains. Initial efforts correct deficiencies were by the application precursor tools GSMs, flux balance analysis with molecular crowding. In past decade, several frameworks been introduced incorporate proteome-related limitations using a stoichiometric model reconstruction basis, which herein are called resource allocation (RAMs). This review provides broad overview representative commonly used existing RAM frameworks. discusses increasingly complex models, beginning broadly divided into two categories: coarse-grained fine-grained, different strengths challenges. Discussion includes pinpointing their utility, data needs, highlighting framework limitations, appropriateness various research endeavors, largely through contrasting mathematical Finally, promising future RAMs discussed.
