What Is Metabolomics?

Metabolomics refers to the systematic identification and quantification of the metabolome of a biological system at a specific point in time. And metabolome means the complete set of small-molecule chemicals found within a biological sample. Its main goal is to qualitatively and quantitatively study the diverse dynamic responses of living organisms to external stimuli, physiological and pathological changes, and genetic mutations, focusing on the levels of endogenous metabolites. The research primarily involves small molecule substances with a relative molecular mass ≤1000 Da, such as organic acidsamino acidsnucleotidessugarslipidsvitamins, etc.

Metabolites in biological systems can be divided into four levels depending on the research subjects and objectives: (1) Target metabolite analysis - for particular or partial analysis of components; (2) Metabolite profiling - a quantitative study of a predetermined limited number of metabolites; (3) Metabolomics - qualitative and quantitative analysis of all endogenous metabolite components in a biological sample under specific conditions; (4) Metabolic fingerprinting - quickly categorizing samples based on the comparison of difference in metabolic fingerprints rather than identifying a single component.

Why Choose Metabolomics?

  • Small changes in gene and protein expression can be amplified in metabolites, making detection easier.

  • Metabolomics research does not require the establishment of databases for whole genome sequencing or large-scale expressed sequence tags (ESTs).

  • The number of metabolites studied is much smaller than the number of proteins; the quantity of metabolites varies significantly among species: plants (200,000 species), animals (2,500 species), microorganisms (1,500 species).

  • The techniques used in this research are more versatile.
