Studies

Flux will be measured using the metabolomics platforms based on absolute quantification method (isotope ratio based MS technique) by LC-MS, using heavy-isotope labelled precursors of the metabolites of interest. For example, 15N labelled cysteine, glycine and glutamate will be used to determine rates of synthesis of glutathione. 15N-labelled methionine to measure S-adenosyl methionine (and its decarboxylated form, as well as methionine cycle intermediates). 15N labelled arginine is used as precursor ...
