METLIN
METLIN is a metabolomics database that is used for the identification of metabolites in metabolomic data. It was developed by the Scripps Research Institute and is currently maintained by the Scripps Center for Metabolomics. The database contains over one million compounds, making it one of the largest resources for metabolite identification.
Overview[edit | edit source]
METLIN was first developed in 2005 by the Scripps Research Institute. The database was designed to assist in the identification of metabolites in metabolomic data. It contains information on a wide range of metabolites, including lipids, steroids, peptides, nucleotides, drugs, and xenobiotics.
The database includes information on the mass spectrometry of each metabolite, including the molecular weight, chemical formula, structure, and spectral data. This information can be used to identify metabolites in mass spectrometry data.
Use in Research[edit | edit source]
METLIN is used in a wide range of research fields, including metabolomics, biochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology. It is particularly useful in the identification of unknown metabolites in metabolomic data.
Access[edit | edit source]
Access to METLIN is free, but registration is required. The database can be accessed through the Scripps Center for Metabolomics website.
