Dr Vasudevan will be fondly remembered by his students, as a committed teacher, guide and scholar in Biochemistry. He has authored the Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students, first edition was published in 1995, the eighth edition in 2016 and the ninth edition will be in the market by the middle of 2019.

Glucose 1-phosphate can then be combined with uridine triphosphate (UTP) to form UDP-glucose, driven by the hydrolysis of UTP, releasing phosphate. Now, the activated UDP-glucose can add to a growing glycogen molecule with the help of glycogen synthase. This is a very efficient storage mechanism for glucose since it costs the body only 1 ATP to ...
The biochemical systems equation is a compact equation of nonlinear differential equations for describing a kinetic model for any network of coupled biochemical reactions and transport processes.
Testing Ames test – salmonella bacteria is exposed to a chemical under question (a food additive, for example), and changes in the way the bacteria grows are measured.. This test is useful for screening chemicals to see if they mutate the structure of DNA and by extension identifying their potential to cause cancer in hu
Cori cycle. The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, [1] is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.
Uridine diphosphate, abbreviated UDP, is an organic compound.It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside uridine.UDP consists of the pyrophosphate group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase uracil.
As a substituent it takes the form of the prefix adenylyl-. [2] AMP plays an important role in many cellular metabolic processes, being interconverted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), as well as allosterically activating enzymes such as myophosphorylase-b. AMP is also a component in the synthesis of RNA. [3]
