Chemical Metabolomics: Chemical Biology Tools for Advanced Metabolism Investigations
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The human metabolism has been investigated for several millennia. The metabolome is known for a high complexity due to a large number of different metabolites that are present at different concentrations. Metabolomics has been developed as a field to investigate the entire human metabolome and to elucidate disease development mechanisms.
