Evolution Of Metabolic Pathways

Evolution of Metabolic Pathways is the academic study of the historical development and modification of biochemical reaction networks in microorganisms through genetic change, natural selection, and horizontal gene transfer, distinguishing it from broader evolutionary processes by its focus on the emergence, diversification, and optimization of enzyme-catalyzed metabolic functions.
