Expanding and understanding metabolite space
In metabolomics the identity and role of low mass molecules called metabolites that are produced in cell metabolic processes are investigated. These make them valuable indicators of the phenotype of a biological system. The ‘Metabolite Space’ is the total chemical universe of metabolites present in all compartments and in all states from any organism. These molecules exhibit common features tha...
متن کاملUnderstanding and Classifying Metabolite Space and Metabolite-Likeness
While the entirety of 'Chemical Space' is huge (and assumed to contain between 10(63) and 10(200) 'small molecules'), distinct subsets of this space can nonetheless be defined according to certain structural parameters. An example of such a subspace is the chemical space spanned by endogenous metabolites, defined as 'naturally occurring' products of an organisms' metabolism. In order to underst...
متن کاملExpanding medicinal chemistry space.
Clinically useful drugs target a relatively small number of proteins that lie within a clearly defined and chemically accessible space. However, many high value biological targets lie outside this chemical space, and an ability to access such 'intractable' targets not amenable to traditional small molecule intervention would expand treatment options and be a major boost for patients and the pha...
متن کاملTethered galaxies and the expanding space paradigm
I examine the counterintuitive claim from Davis et.al. [1] that a stationary or receding galaxy in an expanding universe may exhibit blueshift, even when the universe contains no gravitating matter. I show that with more precise calculations the effect disappears for the empty universe. I also discuss how this is related to the currently popular idea of ‘expanding space’, looking at how this id...
متن کاملPortable reality: Expanding available space
All of the components for creating fully immersive virtual worlds have suddenly become ubiquitous and cheap, often built into devices that we have already in our pockets and on our desktops. These devices have everything they need to become state-of-the-art platforms for immersive games and virtual reality: powerful graphics, high-resolution displays, and precision sensors. Just add some optics...
