- Chemically: amino acids, nucleotides, sugars, organic acids, lipids, alkaloids, food molecules, toxins, drug and drug metabolites
Why are small molecules, the metabolimisc important?
- diagnostic tests
- assays
- genetic disorders
- cofactors
What is a clinical application of NMR, MS?
To find out what metabolites are induced by the drug or suppressed by the drug. ![]()
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
