Mevalonate pathway diagram showing the conversion of acetyl-CoA into isopentenyl pyrophosphate, the essential building block of all isoprenoids. The eukaryotic variant is shown in black. Archaeal variants are shown in red and blue.
In enzymology, an acetate kinase (diphosphate) (EC 2.7.2.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. diphosphate + acetate phosphate + acetyl phosphate. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are diphosphate and acetate, whereas its two products are phosphate and acetyl phosphate.
The term phosphate is also used in organic chemistry for the functional groups that result when one or more of the hydrogens are replaced by bonds to other groups. These acids, together with their salts and esters , include some of the best-known compounds of phosphorus, of high importance in biochemistry , mineralogy , agriculture , pharmacy ...
It participates in 3 metabolic pathways: pentose phosphate pathway, methane metabolism, and carbon fixation. It employs one cofactor , thiamin diphosphate . Phosphoketolase was previously used for biotechnological purposes [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] as it enables the construction of synthetic pathways that allow complete carbon conservation without the ...
The enzyme fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase (EC 4.1.2.22) catalyzes the chemical reaction. D-fructose 6-phosphate + phosphate acetyl phosphate + D-erythrose 4-phosphate + H 2 O. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.
In enzymology, a phosphate acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction acetyl-CoA + phosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } CoA + acetyl phosphate The substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and phosphate , whereas its two products are CoA and acetyl phosphate .
Diagram of phosphodiester bonds (PO 3− 4) between three nucleotides. The 5' end has a 5' carbon attached to a phosphate, and the other end, the 3' end, has a 3' carbon attached to a hydroxyl group. The 5' end has a 5' carbon attached to a phosphate, and the other end, the 3' end, has a 3' carbon attached to a hydroxyl group.
In enzymology, a lysine N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.32) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. acetyl phosphate + L-lysine phosphate + N 6-acetyl-L-lysine. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl phosphate and L-lysine, whereas its two products are phosphate and N6-acetyl-L-lysine.
