A MatLab-based program is presented for predicting ¹³C NMR spectra and mass ¹³C isotopomer data of various tissue metabolites in a ¹³C tracer experiments. The program is useful for predicting changes in ¹³C multiplet patterns in NMR spectra and changes in mass isotopomer ratios in mass spectral data as a tissue responds to changes in flux of various substrates through completing pathways involving mitochondrial metabolism. The program tcaSIM₂ (copies available free of charge) is also valuable for teaching metabolism and analysis of ¹³C NMR data and mass spec data in metabolic tracer experiments.
