  1. To determine the global minimum of the NLLSP, 100 independent iterative trials were provided with an arbitrary set of initial free fluxes for all represented in silico LEs. All iterative trials were terminated successfully for each independent NLLSP. More detailed characteristics for all performed in silico experiments are listed in Additional file 3.
  2. (a)In the case of the SLE, the vector of the measured data consists of both measured MID values and measured effluxes. In the case of the PLE, the vector of the measured data consists of the measured MIDs and effluxes that were available for each SLE.
  3. (b)The measured effluxes are included in the set of free fluxes, constrained according to Eq. (S − 1.2.2) with experimentally determined parameters q eff m e a , σ eff m e a .
  4. (c)The values of Ξ k that were obtained during different iterative trials were assumed to be equal to the Ξmin if the values were different from the Ξmin by a value less than or equal to the TT level, i.e., Ξ k  − Ξmin ≤ TT.
  5. (d)The analysis was performed for the NLLSP solution, which provided the minimal achieved value of Ξ, i.e., Ξmin.
  6. (e)The individual variance-weighted residuals were recognized to be not distributed as N(0, 1) if both the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, provided by MATLAB, rejected this hypothesis and the individual residual plot revealed unpredictable high values for the individual residual/group of the individual residuals or, in contrast, unpredictable small values for the primary part of the individual residuals.
