Fluxomics
Fluxomics is a field of systems biology that focuses on the study of metabolic fluxes within biological systems. It involves the quantitative measurement of the rates of metabolic reactions, providing insights into the dynamic behavior of metabolic networks. Fluxomics is particularly useful in understanding how organisms respond to various environmental conditions, such as changes in nutrient availability, temperature, or stress. By analyzing metabolic fluxes, researchers can identify key regulatory points, understand the efficiency of metabolic pathways, and uncover the underlying mechanisms of biological processes.
The techniques used in fluxomics include metabolic flux analysis (MFA), which integrates data from various sources
Fluxomics has applications in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. In medicine, it can help
Despite its potential, fluxomics faces challenges such as the complexity of metabolic networks and the need
