Metabolomics and metabolism

Metabolome

It is a complete set of small-molecule of less than 1.5 k/Da metabolites such as metabolic intermediates, hormones, other signaling molecules and secondary metabolites to be found within a biological sample, as a individual organism. The first metabolite database called METLIN for searching fragmentation data from tandem mass spectrometry experiments was conducted by the members of Gary Siuzdak’s lab at The Scripps Research Institute located in united states of America in 2005.
