Fluxes are defined with respect to the volumes of the cytoplasm, the ER or the mitochondria as indicated in the text. Thus, as described in Fall and Keizer27, the values of the rate constants obtained experimentally and expressed in nmol.(mg.s)−1 are multiplied by the total protein amounts for each compartment and divided by the volume of the compartment.
