Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in the cells of living organisms to sustain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed through a series of steps into another chemical, by a sequence of enzymes.
BioVision offers an extensive line of metabolism assay kits wherein metabolites can be measured by fluorometric (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) and/or colorimetric (λ = 570 nm) methods.
