Simulations at low oxidative stress (<i>k<sub>TOX</sub></i> = 2 µl·min<sup>−1</sup>·mg protein<sup>−1</sup>) are shown in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003371#pcbi.1003371.s009" target="_blank">Figure S6</a>. ATP production flux as steady-state flux through PFK is indicated in red, while trypanothione reductase steady-state flux is indicated in yellow, both plotted on the left y-axis. Steady-state concentration of cytosolic (blue) and glycosomal (green) 6-phosphogluconate are plotted on the right y-axis. Shaded areas indicate interquartile ranges. (<i>C</i>) Steady-state flux through glycolysis as a function of the glycosomal 6-PG concentration in model A. A glycosomal 6-PG concentration of around 500 mM reduces the glycolytic flux by 50%.</p> 2013-12-05 02:47:01 6pgdh inhibition 6-pg
