Metabolomics: Biochemistry's new look
Nathan Blow1
Abstract
Until now, metabolomics researchers have had to adapt technology developed mainly for proteomics. But there are now solutions designed with them in mind. Nathan Blow reports.
Metabolomics — the comprehensive study of metabolic reactions — is gaining ground alongside its older siblings genomics and proteomics. "Unlike some of the other 'omics' that we have seen, metabolomics is going to produce a lot of useful information right from the start," says Gary Siuzdak, professor of molecular biology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.
