Our mathematical framework provides explicit formulae to analyze the following types of questions: (Q1) Given a flux network, how much will growth rate vary if the underlying flux function is modified? (e.g., by reducing enzymatic activity or by changing the Hill coefficient) (Q2) if the system state is transiently altered (e.g., by introducing/removing a specific amount of molecules, or through noise fluctuations), what would be the long-term impact on the system size? We envision that this framework will stimulate future understanding on fundamental principles of general autocatalytic networks, including cellular systems and ecosystems.
