The chemical complexity of metabolomes goes hand in hand with the functional diversity. Small molecules have many essential roles, many of which are executed by binding and modulating the function of a protein partner. The complex and dynamic protein-metabolite interactions network underlies most if not all biological processes but remains under-characterized. Herein, we highlight how co-fractionation mass-spectrometry (CF-MS), a well-established approach to map protein assemblies, can be used for proteome and metabolome identification of the protein-metabolite interactions. We will review the recent CF-MS studies, discuss the main advantages and limitations, summarize available CF-MS guidelines, and outline future challenges and opportunities.
