What is Metabolomics?
• Genomics - A field of life science research that uses
High Throughput (HT) technologies to identify and/or
characterize all the genes in a given cell, tissue or
organism (i.e. the genome).
• Metabolomics - A field of life science research that
uses High Throughput (HT) technologies to identify
and/or characterize all the small molecules or
metabolites in a given cell, tissue or organism (i.e.
the metabolome).
Module 1
bioinformatics.
What is a Metabolite?
• Any organic molecule detectable in the body with a MW
< 1500 Da
• Includes peptides, oligonucleotides, sugars, nucelosides,
organic acids, ketones, aldehydes, amines, amino acids,
lipids, steroids, alkaloids, foods, food additives, toxins,
pollutants, drugs and drug metabolites
• Includes human & microbial products
• Concentration > detectable (1 pM)
Module 1
bioinformatics.
What is a Metabolome?
• The complete collection of small molecule
metabolites in a cell, organ, tissue or organism
• Includes endogenous and exogenous molecules as
well as transient or even theoretical molecules
• Defined by the detection technology
• Metabolome size is always ill-defined

Why is Metabolomics Important?
Small Molecules Count…
• >95% of all diagnostic clinical assays test for small
molecules
• 89% of all known drugs are small molecules
• 50% of all drugs are derived from pre-existing
metabolites
• 30% of identified genetic disorders involve diseases of
small molecule metabolism
• Small molecules serve as cofactors and signaling
molecules to 1000’s of proteins
Module 1

Metabolites Are the Canaries of the
Genome

The Pyramid of Life
The Metabolome is Connected to All
Other “Omes”
• Small molecules (i.e. AMP, CMP, GMP, TMP) are the primary
constituents of the genome & transcriptome
• Small molecules (i.e. the 20 amino acids) are the primary
constituents of the proteome
• Small molecules (i.e. lipids) give cells their shape, form,
integrity and structure
• Small molecules (sugars, lipids, AAs, ATP) are the source of all
cellular energy
• Small molecules serve as cofactors and signaling molecules for
both the proteome and the genome
• The genome & proteome largely evolved to catalyze the
chemistry of small molecules

Chromatography
Chromatography
• The separation of components in a mixture that
involves passing the mixture dissolved in a
"mobile phase" through a stationary phase, which
separates the analyte to be measured from other
molecules in the mixture based on differential
partitioning between the mobile and stationary
phases
• Column, thin layer, liquid, gas, affinity, ion
exchange, size exclusion, reverse phase, normal
phase, gravity, high pressure
Module 1
bioinformatics.
High Pressure (Performance) Liquid
Chromatography - HPLC
• Developed in 1970’s
• Uses high pressures (6000 psi) and smaller (5 m),
pressure-stable particles
• Allows compounds to be detected at ppt (parts per
trillion) level
• Allows separation of many types of polar and
nonpolar compounds
Module 1
bioinformatics.
HPLC Modalities
• Reversed phase – for separation of non-polar
molecules (non-polar stationary phase, polar mobile
phase)
• Normal phase – for separation of non-polar molecules
(polar stationary phase, non-polar/organic mobile
phase)
• HILIC – hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography
for separation of polar molecules (polar stationary
phase, mixed polar/nonpolar mobile phase)

Gas Chromatography
Gas Chromatography
• Involves a sample being vaporized to a gas and
injected into a column
• Sample is transported through the column by an
inert gas mobile phase
• Column has a liquid or polymer stationary phase
that is adsorbed to the surface of a metal tube
• Columns are 1.5-10 m in length and 2-4 mm in
internal diameter
• Samples are usually derivatized with TMS to make
them volatile

Retention Time/Index
• Retention time (RT) is the time taken by an
analyte to pass through a column
• RT is affected by compound, column (dimensions
and stationary phase), flow rate, pressure, carrier,
temp.
• Comparing RT from a standard sample to an
unknown allows compound ID
• Retention index (RI) is the retention time
normalized to the retention times of adjacently
eluting n-alkanes

bioinformatics.
Mass Spectrometry
• For small organic molecules the MW can be
determined to within 1 ppm or 0.0001% which is
sufficiently accurate to confirm the molecular formula
from mass alone
• For large biomolecules the MW can be routinely
determined within an accuracy of 0.002% (i.e. within 1
Da for a 40 kD protein)
• Recall 1 dalton = 1 atomic mass unit (1 amu)
Module 1
bioinformatics.
Different Types of MS
• GC-MS - Gas Chromatography MS
– separates volatile compounds in gas column and ID’s by mass
• LC-MS - Liquid Chromatography MS
– separates delicate compounds in HPLC column and ID’s by mass
• MS-MS - Tandem Mass Spectrometry
– separates compound fragments by magnetic or electric fields
and ID’s by mass fragment patterns
Module 1
bioinformatics.
Masses in MS
• Monoisotopic mass is
the mass determined
using the masses of
the most abundant
isotopes
• Average mass is the
abundance weighted
mass of all isotopic
components

aspirin
Typical Mass Spectrum
• Characterized by sharp, narrow peaks
• X-axis position indicates the m/z ratio of a given ion
(for singly charged ions this corresponds to the
mass of the ion)
• Height of peak indicates the relative abundance of a
given ion (not reliable for quantitation)
• Peak intensity indicates the ion’s ability to desorb or
“fly” (some fly better than others)
Module 1
bioinformatics.
Resolution & Resolving Power
• Width of peak indicates the resolution of the MS
instrument
• The better the resolution or resolving power, the
better the instrument and the better the mass
accuracy
DM
• Resolving power is defined as:
M
• M is the mass number of the observed mass (DM) is
the difference between two masses that can be
separated

Electrospray (Detail)
Electrospray Ionization
• Sample dissolved in polar, volatile buffer (no salts)
and pumped through a stainless steel capillary (70
- 150 m) at a rate of 10-100 L/min
• Strong voltage (3-4 kV) applied at tip along with
flow of nebulizing gas causes the sample to
“nebulize” or aerosolize
• Aerosol is directed through regions of higher
vacuum until droplets evaporate to near atomic
size (still carrying charges)

Mass Chromatograms
• Standard “output” from an LC-MS or GC-MS experiment
• X-axis is retention time, Y-axis is signal intensity
• Total Ion Current (TIC) chromatogram is summed intensity
across the entire range of masses being detected at every point
in the analysis
• Base Peak chromatogram (BPC) is like a TIC but displays only the
most intense peak in each spectrum
• Extracted Ion chromatogram (EIC) contains one or more
analytes extracted from the TIC or BPC

NMR Spectroscopy
Explaining NMR
Principles of NMR
• Measures nuclear magnetism or changes in nuclear
magnetism in a molecule
• NMR spectroscopy measures the absorption of light
(radio waves) due to changes in nuclear spin orientation
• NMR only occurs when a sample is in a strong magnetic
field
• Different nuclei absorb at different energies
(frequencies)

Chemical Shifts
• Key to the utility of NMR in chemistry
• Different 1H in different molecules exhibit different
absorption frequencies
• Each compound can be defined by a unique pattern of
chemical shifts (a fingerprint)
• Chemical shifts are mostly affected by electronegativity
of neighbouring atoms, bonds or groups

NMR Spectra Need “Fixin’”
• Chemical shift referencing (TMS, DSS)
– Calibrates/normalizes chemical shifts
• Shimming
– Fixes line shape to look Lorentzian
• Phasing
– Fixes line shape to look “absorptive”
• Water suppression/removal
– Removes large water signal
• Baseline correction
– Makes spectrum look flat – not wobbly
