Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of cell metabolism

Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) continues to be a useful tool for the study of cellular metabolism. A variety of NMR techniques have been developed or newly applied to the analysis of cell systems. Many of these techniques are particularly useful for the analysis of immobilized cell bioreactors. The use of several NMR techniques has been an integral part of recent comprehensive metabolic studies. Novel computer-based models and methods have been developed which may make NMR study of metabolism more accessible and powerful.
