Biochemical Pathways

The study of biochemical pathways is critical in metabolic research to evaluate quantitative reactions, cellular/molecular processes, and functional rates of flux. Pathways encompass various types of biosynthesis (e.g., for secondary metabolites), biodegradation (e.g., xenobiotics), and metabolism (e.g., of amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleotides, vitamins). CIL offers stable isotope-labeled compounds that span metabolic pathways present in different organisms.
