Metallomics definition

The definition of metallome and metallomics should be seen in the context of speciation of an element (as mentioned above which was defined by lUPAC as the distribution of an element amongst defined chemical species in a system), but distinguished by consideration of the global role of all metals/metalloids in a system. In speciation analysis, analytical activities of identifying and/or measuring the quantities of one or more individual chemical species in a sample, narrowed to metallobiomolecules, can be referred to as metallomics. In other words, metallomics can be considered as a subset (referring to cellular biochemistry) of speciation analysis understood as the identification and/or quantification of elemental species.
