Analyzing metabolites comes with its own set of challenges, including:
Complexity of Biological Samples: Biological samples contain a vast array of metabolites with varying concentrations, making it difficult to identify and quantify each one accurately. Sensitivity and Specificity: The analytical techniques must be sensitive enough to detect low-abundance metabolites and specific enough to differentiate between metabolites with similar structures. Data Analysis: The large volume of data generated from metabolomic studies requires sophisticated bioinformatics tools for proper analysis and interpretation.
