Quantification of ¹³C enrichments and isotopomer abundances for metabolic flux analysis using 1D NMR spectroscopy.
Masakapalli SK., Ratcliffe RG., Williams TCR.
The analysis of stable isotope incorporation following feeding of (13)C-labeled precursors to plant tissues provides the constraints necessary for metabolic flux analysis. This protocol describes the use of one-dimensional (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the quantification of (13)C enrichments and isotopomer abundances in mixtures of metabolites or hydrolyzed biomass components.
