Novel metabolomics method for α-keto acids
Alpha-Keto acids (e.g. glyoxylate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate, ...) are highly reactive and thus unstable compounds. We established a new method for in situ stabilization and quantification by mass spectrometry. The technique also allows determination of labeling patterns.
