Tracing metabolic flux in vivo: basic model structures of tracer methodology

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Molecules in living organisms are in a constant state of turnover at varying rates, i.e., synthesis, breakdown, oxidation, and/or conversion to different compounds. Despite the dynamic nature of biomolecules, metabolic research has focused heavily on static, snapshot information such as the abundances of mRNA, protein, and metabolites and/or (in)activation of molecular signaling, often leading to...
