Tracing Metabolic Flux In Vivo with Stable Isotopes

WEBINAR

Molecules in living organisms are in a constant state of turnover at varying rates. Despite the dynamic nature of biomolecules, metabolic research has focused heavily on static, snapshot information, often leading to erroneous conclusions regarding metabolic status. Over the past century, stable, non-radioactive isotope tracers have been widely used to provide critical information on the dynamics of specific biomolecules. In this webinar, the following points will be discussed:

• The importance of obtaining kinetic information for a better understanding of metabolism
• The basic principles and model structures of stable isotope tracer methodology
• Their applications in metabolic research
