Biochemical pathways: It is a step by step series of interconnected biochemical reactions in which each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme.
Biochemical pathways that comprise lipogenesis are as follows: De novo fatty acid synthesis. The process primarily occurring in the liver and adipose tissue, is a multi-step process involving enzymes like fatty acid synthase (FAS). It begins with the conversion of acetyl-CoA into fatty acids. Tr...
of biochemical pathways, how to make these small biomolecules synthetically, and simulating simple biological systems. Oftentimes, these molecules will be modified and used by chemical biologists to better understand the larger macromolecules they are a part of. It is still emerging as a discipline, ...
Coenzymes play a vital role in several biochemical pathways such as breaking down macronutrients into smaller molecules (Catabolism) or the formation of new biological compounds in the body (Anabolism). What is a coenzyme? Sometimes, a coenzyme is referred to as a co-substrate because it binds ...
Many times the inhibitor is the end product of the biochemical pathway. Inhibitors bind to enzymes and prevent reactions from occuring Feedback inhibition works by regulating metabolic pathways. In this image, the pathway starts when the substrate binds to the first enzyme. This starts a chain ...
What is the primary function of the catabolic pathway? Is exergonic reaction catabolic? What are chemical reactions that convert energy within a cell? What are the biochemical pathways for catabolism and anabolism? What energy is released during a chemical reaction?
The term apoptosis was first introduced in a paper in 1972 by Kerr, Wyllie, and Currie to describe a morphologically distinct type of cell death. It consists of a series of biochemical changes that lead to changes in the cell’s morphology or death. It results in the death of 50 to 70...
We will focus on high-field EPR studies of biochemical systems that were performed in our laboratory at FU Berlin in teamwork with undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and senior scientists from over the world. 2.1 Spin Hamiltonians for EPR at High Magnetic Fields...
The availability of thousands of sequenced genomes has revealed the diversity of biochemical solutions to similar chemical problems. Even for molecules at the heart of metabolism, such as cofactors, the pathway enzymes first discovered in model organisms like Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...
Learn the definition of metabolic pathways and types of metabolic pathways. Learn about the metabolic pathways chart and see examples of metabolic...
