Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Metabolomics Metabolomics is the study of small molecules, providing insights into biochemical pathways and cellular processes. By analyzing metabolites, metabolomics enables the identification of biomarkers and elucidates the effects of external stimuli on organisms.

  2. Technique 1: Mass Spectrometry Molecular Analysis High Sensitivity Mass spectrometry enables the identification and quantification of molecules in a sample. Mass spectrometry can detect molecules at very low concentrations, making it highly sensitive. Molecular Weight Determination It provides precise measurement of the mass-to-charge ratio for molecules, aiding in their characterization.

  3. Explanation of Mass Spectrometry Ionization: Involves converting molecules into ions for analysis. Separation: Ions are separated based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Detection: The separated ions are detected and analyzed.

  4. Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Metabolomics Identification of Metabolites Metabolic Profiling Biomarker Discovery It enables comprehensive metabolic profiling to understand the metabolic pathways and their alterations in diseases. Mass spectrometry aids in the discovery of potential biomarkers for various diseases and conditions. Mass spectrometry is used to accurately identify and quantify metabolites present in complex biological samples.

  5. Technique 2: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy Principle: NMR spectroscopy relies on the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei when placed in a magnetic field. Resolution: It provides high-resolution structural information of small molecules in complex mixtures. Quantification: NMR allows for the quantification of metabolites over a wide range of concentrations.

  6. Technique 2: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy Magnetic Field Resonance Phenomenon Spectral Analysis NMR spectroscopy utilizes a strong magnetic field to align atomic nuclei. It measures the resonance frequency of atomic nuclei in a sample. Provides detailed information on the molecular structure of compounds.

  7. Applications of NMR spectroscopy in metabolomics Metabolite Profiling: NMR is used to identify and quantify metabolites in biological samples. Biomarker Discovery: It assists in identifying biomarkers for diseases and metabolic processes. Metabolic Flux Analysis: NMR helps in studying metabolic pathways and flux in biological systems.

  8. Technique 3: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Explanation of GC-MS Applications of GC-MS in Metabolomics Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify complex mixtures of chemicals. It separates the components of a mixture and detects them with high sensitivity and selectivity. GC-MS is widely used in metabolomics to analyze metabolites in various biological samples, such as urine, blood, and tissues. It helps in understanding metabolic pathways, biomarker discovery, and disease diagnosis.

  9. Explanation of GC-MS Gas Chromatography: Separates complex mixtures of chemicals Mass Spectrometry: Identifies and quantifies the components Data Analysis: Provides detailed chemical fingerprint for analysis

  10. Applications of GC-MS in Metabolomics Biochemical Profiling Disease Diagnosis Drug Metabolism Studies Allows comprehensive analysis of biological samples for metabolite identification. Identifies biomarkers and metabolic pathways associated with diseases. Evaluates the metabolism of drugs and their impact on the body's metabolic pathways.
