Where this comes from

Abstract

Despite advances in metabolite profiling, a full picture of the metabolic landscape of the cell has been limited by sub-cellular compartmentalization, which segregates distinct nutrient pools into membrane-bound organelles. Now, Chen et al. describe methods for overcoming this hurdle and provide a new quantitative picture of the mitochondrial metabolome.
