Each mass isotopomer was detected and measured through LC-MS/MS in a positive ion mode. MID and the average labeling abundance (%) in each carbon were determined for free amino acids from [13C]GLC and [13C]Gln. The values listed are the average of three biological replicates ±SD. Labeling of carboxyl fragments resulting from LC-MS/MS analysis is included as ‘C1’ of the corresponding amino acid. An asterisk (*) indicates an amino acid whose MID values were corrected using the dilution factor from the 20% labeling experiment (Supplementary Table S6).
