MOTIVATION Stable isotope labeling of small-molecule metabolites (e.g. (13)C-labeling of glucose) is a powerful tool for characterizing pathways and reaction fluxes in a metabolic network. Analysis of isotope labeling patterns requires knowledge of the fates of individual atoms and moieties in reactions, which can be difficult to collect in a useful form when considering a large number of enzymatic reactions. RESULTS We report carbon-fate maps for 4605 enzyme-catalyzed reactions documented in…

Refining carbon flux paths using atomic trace data
TLDR
A side-by-side comparison in a medium scale metabolic network in Escherichia Coli shows that aCFP provides more biologically relevant pathways than CFP, because canonical pathways are more easily recovered, which reflects the benefits of removing false positives.
Construction of an E. Coli genome‐scale atom mapping model for MFA calculations
TLDR
A procedure that uses a compound matching algorithm based on the graph theoretical concept of pattern recognition along with relevant reaction information to automatically generate genome‐scale atom mappings which trace the path of atoms from reactants to products for every reaction is introduced.
Reconstruction of biological pathways and metabolic networks from in silico labeled metabolites
TLDR
The introduction of a computational framework, iAM.NICE (in silico Atom Mapped Network Integrated Computational Explorer), for the systematic atom‐level reconstruction of metabolic networks from in silico labelled substrates and its application goes beyond individual reactions and it can be used for the reconstruction of atom‐mapped metabolic networks.
Computational methods for small molecules
TLDR
This thesis proposes an optimal algorithm for determining the atom-to-atom correspondences between the reactant and product metabolites of organic reactions, and introduces the first feasible path-based graph kernel, which describes the reactions as path sequences to high classification accuracy.
Metabolic modelling and 13C flux analysis application to biotechnologically important yeasts and a fungus
TLDR
The local flux ratio analysis has been extended and applied to analysis of phenotypes of biotechnologically important yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris, and a fungus Trichoderma reesei and the distribution of fluxes in the pyruvate branching point turned out to be most responsive to different oxygen availabilities.
Computer aided optimization of carbon atom labeling for tracer experiments.
TLDR
An algorithm and a software tool are presented to find an optimal carbon labeling pattern that assures the label to disseminate predominantly into those parts of the network under study that can be used for the study of biochemical reaction mechanisms.
Metabolic Flux Analysis Using 13C Isotopes (13C-MFA). 1. Experimental Basis of the Method and the Present State of Investigations
TLDR
The authors have prepared a three-part review highlighting the different but equally important aspects of 13C-MFA, which uses substrates that are labeled with a heavy carbon to characterize the metabolic state of the cell by determining its intracellular flux distribution.
Estimation of flux ratios without uptake or release data: Application to serine and methionine metabolism.
Quantifying and Assessing the Effect of Chemical Symmetry in Metabolic Pathways
TLDR
It is found, through random walking in the metabolic network of E.coli, that alternative tracings originated from symmetries could give rise to considerable amount of differential conservation of atoms and distinct transition patterns of the isotopomer distribution.
How Large Is the Metabolome? A Critical Analysis of Data Exchange Practices in Chemistry
TLDR
It is concluded that present databases are not capable of comprehensively retrieving all known metabolites, and providers of (bio)chemical databases enrich their database identifiers to PubChem IDs and InChIKeys to enable cross-database queries.

Modeling of Isotope Distributions and Intracellular Fluxes in Metabolic Networks Using Atom Mapping Matrices
TLDR
In vitro NMR can be used to study cellular metabolism or to validate the flux estimates obtained from other methods, and Calculations showed that a single nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment with 13C‐labeled glucose should be able to uniquely determine two important TCA cycle flux ratios.

Biosynthetically directed fractional 13C labeling of amino acids provides an efficient analytical tool to quantitatively investigate glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway, tricarboxylic acid cycle and C1 metabolism.
Prediction of oxidoreductase-catalyzed reactions based on atomic properties of metabolites
TLDR
The results suggest that metabolic connectivity can be predicted with reasonable accuracy from the presence or absence of local structural motifs in compounds and their readily calculated atomic features.

Development of a chemical structure comparison method for integrated analysis of chemical and genomic information in the metabolic pathways.
TLDR
This work presents an efficient algorithm for comparing two chemical structures of compounds, where the chemical structure is treated as a graph consisting of atoms as nodes and covalent bonds as edges, and introduced heuristics to accelerate the clique finding and to detect optimal local matches.
Correcting ligands, metabolites, and pathways
TLDR
A tool for chemical structure validation which assesses the chemical validity and stereochemical completeness of a molecule description is developed and used to examine the compounds in BioMeta, a database of metabolites called BioMeta that augments the existing pathway databases by explicitly assessing the validity, correctness, and completion of chemical structure and reaction information.

TLDR
Analysis of carbon atomic traces in metabolic reactions annotated for Escherichia coli revealed that the average path length of its metabolism is much longer than previously thought and that the metabolic world of this organism is not small in terms of biosynthesis and degradation.
