Synthetic Biology
Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of metabolites within a biological system, involving the identification and quantification of small molecules present in cells, tissues, or organisms. This field helps to understand metabolic processes and interactions, providing insights into how these metabolites influence biological functions and overall health. It plays a crucial role in optimizing metabolic pathways, integrating omics data for better modeling, analyzing fluxes in metabolic networks, and reconstructing complex metabolic systems.
