Understanding the biochemical functions of proteins is an important factor in elucidating their cellular and physiological functions. Due to the predominance of biopolymer interactions in biology, many methods have been designed to interrogate and identify biologically relevant interactions that proteins make to DNA, RNA, and other proteins. Complementary approaches that can elucidate binding interactions between proteins and small molecule metabolites will impact the understanding of protein-metabolite interactions and fill a need that is outside the scope of current methods. Here, we demonstrate the ability to identify natural protein-metabolite interactions from complex metabolite mixtures by combining a protein-mediated small molecule enrichment step with a global metabolite profiling platform.
