First sentence: Following its original formulation in 1973 (Heinrich &amp; Rapoport, 1973, 1974; Kacser &amp; Burns, 1973) as a means of understanding the contribution of the individual steps of a biochemical pathway to the values of flux and metabolite concentrations observed, some 13 years were to pass before we first surveyed (Kell &amp; Westerhoff, 1986ab) how the formalism, tools and terms of metabolic control analysis might usefully be applied to such systems in a biotechnological context.
