Design principles of autocatalytic cycles constrain enzyme kinetics and force low substrate saturation at flux branch points
A set of chemical reactions that require a metabolite to synthesize more of that metabolite is an autocatalytic cycle. Here, we show that most of the reactions in the core of central carbon metabolism are part of compact autocatalytic cycles. Such metabolic designs must meet specific conditions to s...
