We have constructed a kinetic model of Escherichia coli core metabolism that satisfies the fluxomic data for wild-type and seven mutant strains. This model encompasses 138 reactions, 93 metabolites and 60 substrate-level regulatory interactions accounting for glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, TCA cycle, major pyruvate metabolism, anaplerotic reactions and a number of reactions in other parts of the metabolism. We have developed an optimization-driven parameter identification method and integrated it with the Ensemble Modeling (EM) procedure for model parameterization.
