Title: How to calculate the contribution to flux from Stoichiometry ?
Post by: enyrb333 on July 15, 2017, 11:55:17 AM

Basically,

For the following balanced stoich equation:

3PG + NAD +  + Glucyt + H2O --> Ser + αKGcyt + NADHcyt + H+  +  Pi

I have the following total flux: lets say: 15 mol/hr ( I only these two info)

I want to calculate the flow (conversion) of Glucyt into Ser.

I know 1:1 mole ratio but how can I calculate the molar flow fractions ?
Do I calculate the total mole of reactants: 6
And get the concentration of: 1/6 * Flux ?

Thanks guys!

Is this homework?  I don't see where "6" comes from.
