Motivation

Metabolic engineering requires mathematical models for accurate design purposes Aim: overproducing desired substances Problem: identify the interventions needed to produce the metabolite of interest Tools: optimisation, sensitivity, robustness, identifiability

Idea

We use a multi-objective optimisation algorithm to seek the manipulation that optimise multiple cellular functions The idea is to use and improve the Pareto optimal solutions Pareto optimality is important to obtain not only a wide range of Pareto

  • ptimal solutions, but also the best trade-off design

Why a common framework for organelles?

All extant eukaryotes are descended from an ancestor that had a mitochondrion The evolutionary history of chloroplasts and mitochondria are intertwined The possibility of multi-objective optimisation related to the different tasks (e.g. maximising the ATP and the heat) Identify and cross-compare the most important components Assess the fragileness of the multi-optimised metabolic networks using the robustness analysis

Multi-objective optimisation

Let f be the vector of r objective functions to optimise in the objective space

f1 f2 f(y*)

Solution of a multi-objective problem: set of points called Pareto front Represents the best trade-off between two or more requirements A point y ∗ in the solution space is Pareto optimal if there does not exist a point y such that f (y) dominates f (y ∗), i.e. fi(y) > fi(y ∗), ∀i = 1, ..., r
