Reference state

Description

The reference state, Z, is the respiratory state with high flux in relation to the baseline state, Y. The transition between the baseline state and the reference state is a step change brought about by a metabolic control variable, X. If X stimulates flux (ADP, fuel substrate), it is present in the reference state but absent in the baseline state. If X is an inhibitor of flux, it is absent in the reference state but present in the baseline state.

Abbreviation: Z

Reference: Flux control factor
