A factory in a metabolic network specifies how to produce target molecules from source compounds through biochemical reactions, properly accounting for reaction stoichiometry to conserve or not deplete intermediate metabolites. While finding factories is a fundamental problem in systems biology, available methods do not consider the number of reactions used, nor address negative regulation.
