Metabolome - Definition and Overview

Metabolome is the whole set of metabolic entities and small pathway motifs in a cell, tissue, organ, organisms, and species.

The metabolome includes proteins, RNA, DNA and various substrates. It also includes small circuits of pathway networks. The very large portion of metabolome study has been metabolic engineering to produce industrially meaningful compounds.
