In a number of metabolic pathways enzyme concentrations are comparable to those of substrates. Recently it has been shown that many statements of the 'classical' metabolic control theory are violated if such a system contains a moiety-conserved cycle. For arbitrary pathways we have found: (a) the equation connecting coefficients C(Ei)J (obtained by varying the E(i) concentration) and C(vi)J (obtained by varying the k(i)cat), and (b) modified summation equations. The sum of the enzyme control coefficients (equal to unity under the 'classical' theory) appears always to be below unity in the systems considered. The relationships revealed were illustrated by a numerical example where the sum of coefficients C(Ei)J reached negative values. A method for experimental measurements of the above coefficients is proposed.
