Abstract
The potential of control analysis to aid our understanding of regulation and control of photosynthetic carbon metabolism is investigated. Methods of metabolic control analysis are used to determine flux control coefficients of photosynthetic reactions from enzyme elasticities. Equations expressing control coefficients symbolically by enzyme elasticities are derived, and general properties of these expressions are analysed. Suggestions for experimental determination of flux control coefficients from enzyme elasticities are given. A simplified model of the Calvin-Benson cycle is used to illustrate interrelations between patterns of photosynthetic metabolites and that of control coefficients.Entities:
