Valine, being one of the three branched-chain amino acids, has a differentmetabolismthan other amino acids (essential) inside the body. Theenzymesthat are responsible for the initial catabolism of valine are found primarily in the extrahepatic tissues. Let’s look briefly at both the anabolism an...
The condensed structure shows us the connectivity of the molecule. The use of parentheses is important: Parentheses with no subscripts:Branch on the chain. Parenthesis with subscripts:Multiple branches on a chain. CH2within parentheses + subscripts:Repeating CH2units within a chain. ...
The cell membrane of alkaliphiles consists of about 90% of branched fatty acids which help in pH homeostasis by reducing H+leakage. d. Damage Repair systems Alkaliphiles also employ different damage repair systems to maintain the necessary level of functional biomolecules, repairing the damage incu...
In between the amylose chains, the starch branching enzyme catalyzes the formation of 1,6-alpha glycosidic bonds between the amylose chains, forming branched amylopectin. Glycogenolysis is the process of breaking down stored glycogen in the liver so that glucose may be produced for use in energy ...
Biosynthesis of purines and of some amino acids are examples of divergent pathways. A certain amount of regulation happens at this point. Branched Convergent as in several precursors which can give rise to a common intermediate. The conversion of various carbohydrates into the glycolytic pathway ...
biopolymers. conventions sugars polymers of sugar are either branched or linear and are attached with glycosidic bonds. various chemical modifications can occur in many saccharide units. this type of biopolymer is often difficult in terms of conventions. polypeptides conventions regarding polypeptides are ...
Unbranched_chain groups. [R0;D2]~[R0;D2]~[R0;D2]~[R0;D2] Hits any bond (single, double, triple). Only hits chains of at-least 4 members. All non-(implicit-hydrogen) atoms count as branches (e.g. halide substituted chains count as branched). ...
Figure 4: The different parts of a neuron Each axon is branched into regions known as thepresynaptic terminals. At presynaptic terminals, the electrical impulse is converted into chemical neurotransmitters that send signals to the following neuron or muscle cell in the chain. Neurotransmitters are sto...
