Document Summary

Topic 20: amino acid degradation: everyday biochemistry. + + co2 + aspartate + 3atp urea + fumarate + 2adp + amp + 4pi: the urea cycle, enzyme: carbamoyl phosphate synthetase i, catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction in the urea cycle, 1. Bicarbonate is phosphorylated by atp to form carboxyphosphate: 2. It"s then attacked by nh3 to release and generate carbamate (ammonia displaces phosphoryl group: 3. If it goes to pyruvates its glucogenic: don"t have to memorize just know there are two kinds. Glycolytic pathway intermediates: 3-phosphoglycerate, g6p, phosphoenolpyruvate, 2. Pentose phosphate pathway intermediates: g6p and leads to histidine, 3. Aa: glycosate inhibits this enzyme, bacteria gene epsp is not inhibited by glycosate, but bacterial gene into plant. No binding to target proteins: arginine is metabolized by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase to produce. 3/20/18: nitric oxide is generated from arginine, aa derivative, nitric oxide synthase uses a 2 step reaction involving the input of o2 and.
