Abstract

In the intricate symphony of biological processes that govern life, metabolite profiles serve as the notes that compose the melody. These small molecules, synthesized and transformed within living organisms, play diverse roles in cellular function, energy metabolism, and regulatory signalling pathways. From the simplest prokaryotes to the most complex multicellular organisms, metabolite profiles provide a snapshot of the physiological state and metabolic activity of an organism, offering invaluable insights into health, disease, and environmental interactions.
