For consistency with the proteomics data, the absolute usage should be expressed in mg/gDW, as the proteomics data has this unit. The absolute usage is then multiplied by kcat/mw to convert the unit to mmol/gDW/hr!

The enzymeUsage function is directly reporting the flux value from the enzyme usage reactions, so in mg/gDCW. The function documentation is just incorrect, while change that line to mention mg/gDCW instead.
