“…Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of central metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis, features of metabolism that are relatively conserved across organisms. The targets that can currently be detected include glucose [7,9,[15][16][17][18][19][20], glutamine [7,14,21,22], glutamate [9,14,[23][24][25], tryptophan [11,26], arginine [14,27], histidine [14], leucine [14], lactate [12], citrate [28] and other C 4 carboxylates [8], as well as the associated cofactor ATP [20,29]. Several FRET biosensors have been developed to monitor metabolites within these pathways (Figure 2, red boxes).…”
