Metabolome 1075211 221758208 2008-06-25T23:33:29Z Tim Q. Wells 803888 important term '''Metabolome'''{{ref|FirstUse}} refers to the complete set of small-molecule metabolites (such as metabolic intermediates, hormones and other signalling molecules, and secondary metabolites) to be found within a biological sample, such as a single organism. The word was coined in analogy with [[transcriptomics]] and [[proteomics]]; like the transcriptome and the proteome, the metabolome is dynamic, changing from second to second. Although the metabolome can be defined readily enough, it is not currently possible to analyse the entire range of metabolites by a single analytical method (see [[metabolomics]]). In January 2007 scientists at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary finished a draft of the human metabolome. They have catalogued and characterized 2,500 [[metabolite]]s, 1,200 [[drug]]s and 3,500 food components that can be found in the human body. == See also == *[[tumor metabolome]] * [[Mass spectrometry]] | [[Protein electrophoresis|2D gel]] | [[Protein sequencing]]. * Databases: [[PIR]] | [[Swissprot]] | [[Pfam]] * [[Bioinformatics]] == External links == * [http://proteome.org Proteome.org] * [http://bioinformatics.oupjournals.org/ Bioinformatics Journal] * [http://www.metabolomics.ca/ The Human Metabolome Project] * [http://www.hmdb.ca/ The Human Metabolome Database] * [http://www.metabolibrary.ca/ The Human Metabolite Library] * [http://www.husermet.org/ The Human Serum Metabolome Project (HUSERMET)] * [http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/omi.2006.10.158 PDF of Reporting Standards for Metabolomic Studies] * [http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-20070124-15033700-bc-canada-metabalome.xml Scientists complete human metabalome] == References == # {{note|FirstUse}} First use of the term "metabolome" in the literature — {{cite journal | author=Oliver, S.
