Metabolic phenotyping of tissues uses metabolomics and lipidomics to measure the relative polar and non-polar (lipid) metabolite levels in biological samples. This approach aims to understand disease biochemistry and identify biochemical markers of disease. Sample preparation methods must be repr...
Clinical metabolic phenotyping employs metabolomics and lipidomics to detect and measure thousands of metabolites and lipids within human samples. This approach aims to identify metabolite and lipid changes between phenotypes (e.g. disease status) that aid understanding of biochemical mechanisms ...
Untargeted metabolomics is an established approach in toxicology for characterising endogenous metabolic responses to xenobiotic exposure. Detecting the xenobiotic and its biotransformation products as part of the metabolomics analysis provides an opportunity to simultaneously gain deep insights int...
Identifying metabolomes with greater coverage and confidence is a critical step towards interpreting the metabolic basis of human and environmental health. Yet for over two decades the field of metabolomics has been inhibited by limited metabolite identification. To address this, we developed the...
Metabolic control analysis is being exploited in a systems biology study of the eukaryotic cell. Using chemostat culture, we have measured the impact of changes in flux (growth rate) on the transcriptome, proteome, endometabolome and exometabolome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each function...
BACKGROUND: Protozoan Leishmania parasites are responsible for a range of clinical infections that represent a substantial challenge for global health. Amphotericin B (AmB) is increasingly used to treat Leishmania infection, so understanding the potential for resistance to this d...
The ability of Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) to hydrolyze ATP is essential for its chaperone function. The co-chaperone Aha1 stimulates Hsp90 ATPase activity tailoring the chaperone function to specific “client” proteins. The intracellular signaling mechanisms directly regulating Aha1 association wi...
