Abstract
Autocatalysis is necessary and ubiquitous in both engineered and biological systems but can aggravate control performance and cause instability. We analyze the properties of autocatalysis in the universal and well studied glycolytic pathway. A simple two-state model incorporating ATP autocatalysis and inhibitory feedback control captures the essential dynamics, including limit cycle oscillations, observed experimentally. System performance is limited by the inherent autocatalytic stoichiometry and higher levels of autocatalysis exacerbate stability and performance. We show that glycolytic oscillations are not merely a "frozen accident" but a result of the intrinsic stability tradeoffs emerging from the autocatalytic mechanism. This model has pedagogical value as well as appearing to be the simplest and most complete illustration yet of Bode's integral formula.
