BIOL 4350 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Cytosol, Thiol, Glycogen
Document Summary
Lecture 30: 2nd non-directly related to sunlight phase of photosynthesis, 1 carbon dioxide is incorporated per phase of the calvin cycle, 1. One carbon dioxide is incorporated with rubp by rubisco to create 3-pga: 2. 1 triosphosphate is allowed to leave: 5 carbon carb precursor + 1 carbon 2 3-carbon products reduced back to carb form. Lecture 30: functions, glutathione reductase, should(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ake se(cid:374)se (cid:374)o(cid:449) (cid:271)ut (cid:449)ill (cid:373)ake se(cid:374)se later, generic pool or reduction, active pentose phosphate pathways, all cells need it, specific pathways need a lot of it, 2 stages, 1. Mirror images: calvin cycle, add some carbon dioxide. Indicator that you need nadph is rising levels of nadp+ Nadph: oxidative amage repair, glutathione, molecule that is present at really high concentrations in cytosol of cells, at millimolar concentration there to be an oxidative damage scavenger molecule. Oxygen would undo them: source of everything, downside of living in oxygen rich environment, fantastic electron acceptor in respiration.
