The foods we eat are composed of a variety of molecules. From carbohydrates to proteins — to metal ions — we are what we eat. But how does this happen? How do we integrate the components of our food into the biological building blocks so integral to basic functions? This area of study is a robust one, and one lab at Princeton made a key step toward figuring it out.
