Food research is constantly searching for new ways to replace sugar. This is due to the
negative connotations of sugar consumption on health which has driven consumer demand …

NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

The organization, regulation and dynamical responses of biological systems are in many
cases too complex to allow intuitive predictions and require the support of mathematical …

Kinetic models are critical to predict the dynamic behaviour of metabolic networks.
Mechanistic kinetic models for large networks remain uncommon due to the difficulty of fitting …

Rationale: Modern molecular biology is generating data of unprecedented quantity and
quality. Particularly exciting for biochemical pathway modeling and proteomics are …

The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a functionally related group of low-GC Gram-positive
bacteria known essentially for their roles in bioprocessing of foods and animal feeds. Due to …

The wide application of lactic acid bacteria in the production of fermented foods depends to
a great extent on the unique features of sugar metabolism in these organisms. The relative …

Background The dynamics of the cellular glycolysis pathway underpin cellular function and
dysfunction, and therefore ultimately health, disease, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies …

A First Course in Systems Biology is an introduction for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students to the growing field of systems biology. Its main focus is the development …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) display a relatively simple carbon and energy metabolism where
the sugar source is converted mainly to lactic acid. In Lactococcus lactis metabolic …
