Many thanks to Athel for >allowing >us to use his FAQ as the basis for the bionet-metabolic-reg newsgroup FAQ. > I am of course very pleased that Herbert wanted to use my FAQ as the basis for the news group FAQ. I shall continue to maintain mine (as it has quite a few visits, around 5000 in the past few years, not counting me, and there is no way of knowing how many of those are from people who follow the news group) and will try to keep it more or less in step with Herbert's modifications to his version. There is a difference, however, which is that my version essentially presents my personal view of things, which is not necessarily the majority view of the group, so if Herbert gets as much input from other people as we would hope the two versions may start to diverge. My FAQ was conceived as (and will probably remain) a FAQ on metabolic control analysis, but the terms of reference of the news group are broader than that, so it would be very good if someone could work on a FAQ dealing with some of the non-MCA aspects of the BTK (thermodynamics, ...) Also in relation to input from other people, could I draw everyone's attention to the various points where Herbert specifically asks for input: >[4.6] What are the theorems of Metabolic Control Analysis? >Indeed, what are they?
