Redesigning metabolism based on orthogonality principles

Growth-coupled designs for chemical production are limited by native metabolic networks’ optimality for growth. Here, the authors introduce pathway orthogonality as a measure of the independence of biomass and chemical production pathways, identify metabolic valves that allow substrate utilization t...
