Fluxes are the central trait of metabolism and Kinetic Flux Profiling (KFP) is an effective method of measuring them. To generalize its applicability, we present an extension of the method that estimates the relative changes of fluxes using only relative quantitation of 13C-labeled metabolites. Such features are directly tailored to the more common experiment that performs only relative quantitation and compares fluxes between two conditions. We call our extension rKFP. Moreover, we examine the effects of common missing data and common modeling assumptions on (r)KFP, and provide practical suggestions. We also investigate the selection of measuring times for (r)KFP and provide a simple recipe. We then apply rKFP to 13C-labeled glucose time series data collected from cells under normal and glucose-deprived conditions, estimating the relative flux changes of glycolysis and its branching pathways. We identify an adaptive response in which de novo serine biosynthesis is compromised to maintain the glycolytic flux backbone. Together, these results greatly expand the capabilities of KFP and are suitable for broad biological applications. Metabolism underlies all biological processes, and its quantitative study is crucial for our understanding. The central trait of metabolism, metabolic fluxes, cannot be directly measured and are estimated usually through modeling. Existing modeling methods, however, are limited by poorly-characterized parameters, crude precision, or labor-intensiveness. Motivated by these limitations, and recognizing a most common goal in the field of comparing the fluxes between two conditions, we develop an extension of an existing method that takes in time-series relative-quantitation data of isotope-labeled metabolites (a kind of data that modern metabolomic technologies readily generate), and outputs the relative changes of fluxes in the metabolic networks of interest. We also carefully examine some issues on model construction and experimental design, and improve the reliability and strength of the method. We apply our method to data collected from cells in normal and glucose-deprived conditions, demonstrate the efficacy of the method and arrive at new biological insight.
