The Number of Extreme Pathways Associated with the Production of the Indicated Amino Acid that Do Not Use the Indicated Carbon and Nitrogen Substrate

Amino acid produced EPs without alanine input EPs without arginine input
Asparagine0103 (30.3%)
Aspartate0155 (31.6%)
Cysteine0248 (24.3%)
Glutamine1 (0.3%)75 (23.8%)
Glutamate1 (0.2%)140 (28.4%)
Glycine0130 (34.5%)
Lysine0152 (24.9%)
Proline11 (1.3%)0
Serine0103 (29.0%)
Threonine0115 (24.5%)
Tryptophan0534 (27.3%)
Tyrosine0248 (24.6%)

[i] These calculations are performed under case 4 conditions. The percentages are based on the total number of extreme pathways for the production of an individual amino acid. EPs indicates extreme pathways.
