Metabolic control analysis is a theoretical framework that quantifies how different enzymes and metabolic pathways influence the overall rate of metabolic processes. It helps in understanding how control is distributed among various steps in a metabolic pathway and identifies which enzymes are most influential in regulating metabolic flux. This concept is crucial for evaluating the efficiency of metabolic pathways and informs strategies in metabolic engineering and biotechnology.
