This book introduces researchers and advanced students in biology
and engineering to methods of optimizing biochemical systems of
biotechnological relevance. It examines the development of
strategies for manipulating metabolic pathways, demonstrates the
need for effective systems models, and discusses their design and
analysis, while placing special emphasis on optimization. The
authors propose power-law models and methods of Biochemical Systems
Theory toward these ends. All concepts are derived from first
principles, and the text is richly illustrated with numerous graphs
and examples throughout.
