Document Summary
Enzyme nomenclature: pyran vs. furan, down=a=axial, up=b=equatorial. Things to be able to draw: glucose, fructose, sucrose, galactose, glucosamine, galactosamine, amino acids involved in important bonds or catalytic sites. Know structures of: polysaccharide linkages a vs. b, glycoprotein linkages. O-linked is from the oh of the a or b oh group. How pathways are connected to each other via common metabolites. Metabolism think of it as a network: overview: Carbon is oxidized to yield energy in the form of atp and reducing power in the form of nadph. Can be broken down into a small number of different types of reactions using a central set of common intermediates, including activated carriers. Metabolic pathways in general are highly regulated and interconnected: reaction types. Lactate and aerobic which leads to acetyl coa: the two phosphor-anhydride bonds are used as intermediates/potential-energy to drive the reaction forward/shift equilibrium of coupled reactions (and helps create h+ gradient): o.
