Crosstalk

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Beyond the major metabolic connections that make up the framework of the metabolic network is metabolic crosstalk, which is the subtle interactions between discrete metabolic processes/pathways. These interactions, which are mediated by metabolites and proteins, coordinate metabolic processes to produce a robust metabolic network. Crosstalk interactions can be identified genetically in vivo and are further characterized with a cross-disciplinary approach. Probing metabolic crosstalk aids in characterizing genes of unknown function and revealing the next tier of metabolic paradigms.
