  2. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    The degradative process of a catabolic pathway provides the energy required to conduct the biosynthesis of an anabolic pathway. [6] In addition to the two distinct metabolic pathways is the amphibolic pathway, which can be either catabolic or anabolic based on the need for or the availability of energy.

  3. Nucleotide salvage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide_salvage

    A salvage pathway is a pathway in which a biological product is produced from intermediates in the degradative pathway of its own or a similar substance. The term often refers to nucleotide salvage in particular, in which nucleotides ( purine and pyrimidine ) are synthesized from intermediates in their degradative pathway.

  4. Amphibolic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibolic

    The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) is a good example of an amphibolic pathway because it functions in both the degradative (carbohydrate, protein, and fatty acid) and biosynthetic processes. [2] The citric acid cycle occurs on the cytosol of bacteria and within the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

  5. Catabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catabolism

    Catabolism (/ k ə ˈ t æ b ə l ɪ z ə m /) is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. [1]

  6. Pathway analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathway_analysis

    Pathway resources and types of pathway analysis using databases like KEGG, Reactome and WikiPathways. [1]Pathway is the term from molecular biology for a curated schematic representation of a well characterized segment of the molecular physiological machinery, such as a metabolic pathway describing an enzymatic process within a cell or tissue or a signaling pathway model representing a ...

  7. Transamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamination

    Transamination is a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids.This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).

  8. Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutaryl-CoA_dehydrogenase

    Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) is an enzyme encoded by the GCDH gene on chromosome 19.The protein belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family (ACD). It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and carbon dioxide in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism.

  9. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    This article needs attention from an expert in biochemistry.The specific problem is: someone with a solid grasp of the full scope of this subject and of its secondary and advanced teaching literatures needs to address A, the clear structural issues of the article (e.g., general absence of catabolic biosynthetic pathways, insertion of macromolecule anabolic paths before all building blocks ...
