Owing to its compositional and chemical complexity, much of the gut microbiota metabolome remains poorly characterized. Aromatic amino acids (AAAs) have a history of being privileged substrates for the biosynthesis of diverse bioactive metabolites and thus represent a potentially rich source of b...
Modern mass spectrometry-based metabolomics is a key technology for biomedicine, enabling discovery and quantification of a wide array of biomolecules critical for human physiology. Yet, only a fraction of human metabolites have been structurally determined, and the majority of features in typica...
