  1. 1 number of reactions between every pair of metabolites.
  2. 2 In-degree is the number of substrates and out-degree is the number of products for the reaction graph. The value of gamma is shown with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic in parentheses, with critical values (α = 0.01) of 0.050 for E. coli and 0.110 for Buchnera.
