  2. Carbohydrate synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_synthesis

    So far, there has not been a unified synthetic strategy of consistent oligosaccharide production because of the nuances in the anomeric effects of monomers and the complexity in the carbohydrate structures. [4] [5] The facile procedures such as the one-pot and solid phase synthesis which ensures atom economy [6] [4] are used. However, further ...

  3. Kiliani–Fischer synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiliani–Fischer_synthesis

    The Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, named for German chemists Heinrich Kiliani and Emil Fischer, is a method for synthesizing monosaccharides.It proceeds via synthesis and hydrolysis of a cyanohydrin, followed by reduction of the intermediate acid to the aldehyde, thus elongating the carbon chain of an aldose by one carbon atom while preserving stereochemistry on all the previously present chiral ...

  4. Carbohydrate catabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_catabolism

    Glycolysis, which means “sugar splitting,” is the initial process in the cellular respiration pathway. Glycolysis can be either an aerobic or anaerobic process. When oxygen is present, glycolysis continues along the aerobic respiration pathway. If oxygen is not present, then ATP production is restricted to anaerobic respiration.

  5. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    Glycolysis can be regulated at different steps of the process through feedback regulation. The step that is regulated the most is the third step. This regulation is to ensure that the body is not over-producing pyruvate molecules. The regulation also allows for the storage of glucose molecules into fatty acids. [5]

  6. Chemosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  7. Abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    The emergence of life with increasing order and complexity does not contradict the second law of thermodynamics, which states that overall entropy never decreases, since a living organism creates order in some places (e.g. its living body) at the expense of an increase of entropy elsewhere (e.g. heat and waste production). [160] [161] [162]

  8. Pharmaceutical manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_manufacturing

    Pharmaceutical manufacturing is the process of industrial-scale synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs as part of the pharmaceutical industry. The process of drug manufacturing can be broken down into a series of unit operations, such as milling, granulation, coating, tablet pressing, and others.

    In so doing, it brings into the cell not only a small area of the surface of the cell but also a small volume of fluid from outside the cell. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Coats function to deform the donor membrane to produce a vesicle, and they also function in the selection of the vesicle cargo.
