Abstract Background Quantification of intracellular metabolite fluxes by 13C-tracer experiments is maturing into a routine higher-throughput analysis. The question now arises as to which mutants should be analyzed. Here we identify key experiments in a systems biology approach with a genome-scale model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism thereby reducing the workload for experimental network analyses and functional genomics. Results Genome-scale 13C flux analysis revealed that about half of the 745 biochemical reactions were active during growth on glucose but that alternative pathways exist for only 51 gene-encoded reactions with significant flux. These flexible reactions identified in silico are key targets for experimental flux analysis and we present the first large-scale metabolic flux data for yeast covering half of these mutants during growth on glucose. The metabolic lesions were often counteracted by flux rerouting but knockout of cofactor-dependent reactions as in the adhl ald6 cox5A fuml mdhl pdal and zwfl mutations caused flux responses in more distant parts of the network.
