13C-MFA, or 13C Metabolic Flux Analysis, is a technique used to study metabolic networks by tracking the flow of carbon isotopes in biological systems. This method utilizes stable isotopes of carbon, specifically the non-radioactive isotope 13C, to analyze how metabolites are produced and consumed within a cell, providing insights into metabolic pathways and control mechanisms.
congrats on reading the definition of 13C-MFA. now let's actually learn it.
