The oscillatory state of glycolysis in yeast extracts has been analysed by methods known from electronic circuit studies. The time course of the reactions are calculated by the method of least squares from experimentally determined sets of the concentrations of most of the metabolites. The dynamics of the glycolytic network of reactions can then be represented in terms of flow versus driving force (current versus voltage in the corresponding electronic circuit). The analysis of the dynamics leads to the conclusion that glycolysis is switched on and off in a pulsed manner during the oscillatory state. The resulting pulsed flow cannot only be measured with glycolytic end products, like carbon dioxide or ethanol, but can also readily be demonstrated by diagrams of reaction rates of single enzymic steps even in the initial stages of the glycolytic sequence. An analytic method widely applied to electronic circuits also proved to be useful in the study of the dynamics of a complex enzymic network.
