Flux estimation by using (13) C-labeling pattern information of metabolites is currently the only method that can give accurate, detailed quantification of all intracellular fluxes in the central metabolism of a microorganism. In essence, it corresponds to a constrained optimization problem which minimizes a weighted distance between measured and simulated results. Characteristics, such as existence of multiple local minima, non-linear and non-differentiable make this problem a special difficulty.
