  2. Reaction coordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_coordinate

    An example is the complexation of two molecules. The distance between both of them is the collective variable, where the atomic positions are the individual variables x i and the reaction coordinate ξ would be the full path of association and dissociation. By applying a bias to the collective variables the simulation can be 'steered' towards ...

  3. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    An anabolic pathway is a biosynthetic pathway, meaning that it combines smaller molecules to form larger and more complex ones. [ 10 ] : 570 An example is the reversed pathway of glycolysis, otherwise known as gluconeogenesis , which occurs in the liver and sometimes in the kidney to maintain proper glucose concentration in the blood and supply ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [1] A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction. The detailed steps of a reaction are not observable in most cases.

  6. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    There are two known pathways for the biosynthesis of glycine. Organisms that use ethanol and acetate as the major carbon source utilize the glyconeogenic pathway to synthesize glycine. The other pathway of glycine biosynthesis is known as the glycolytic pathway. This pathway converts serine synthesized from the intermediates of glycolysis to

  7. Pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathway

    Clinical pathway, systemised approach to medical treatment; Biological pathway. Genetic pathway, a group of interacting genes; Metabolic pathway, a series of cellular chemical reactions; Neural pathway; Signalling pathway or signal transduction, a series of interactions to affect gene expression

  8. Linear biochemical pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_biochemical_pathway

    A linear pathway can be studied in various ways. Multiple computer simulations can be run to try to understand the pathway's behavior. Another way to understand the properties of a linear pathway is to take a more analytical approach. Analytical solutions can be derived for the steady-state if simple mass-action kinetics are assumed.

  9. Biological pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pathway

    Pathways can also turn genes on and off, or spur a cell to move. [1] Some of the most common biological pathways are involved in metabolism, the regulation of gene expression and the transmission of signals. Pathways play a key role in advanced studies of genomics. Most common types of biological pathways: [1] Metabolic pathway; Genetic pathway
