KineFlux Predicts Genome-Scale Flux Distributions Accurately
Researchers Fayaz Soleymani, Zahra Razaghi-Moghadam, and Zoran Nikoloski publish March 16, 2026 in PLoS Computational Biology a method called KineFlux that combines machine learning with enzyme-constrained metabolic models to predict steady-state genome-scale flux distributions using only quantitative proteomic data. Using fluxomic and proteomic datasets from Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, KineFlux aligns with classical flux estimates, shows transferability across conditions, and obviates the need for metabolomics or explicit enzyme kinetics.
Scoring Rationale
Peer-reviewed method with practical code enables usable flux prediction, but novelty is incremental over existing enzyme-constrained approaches.
