metabolic intermediate

This common chemistry allows cells to use a small set of metabolic intermediates to carry chemical groups between different reactions.

Others are only metabolic intermediates, such as citrulline.

In cells, especially autotrophs, several non-proteinogenic amino acids are found as metabolic intermediates.

Metabolic intermediates refers to molecules which are the precursors or metabolites of biologically significant molecules.

Many amino acids, such as ornithine, are metabolic intermediates that are abiotic, but not coded.

Sucrose phosphorylase (E.C. 2.4.1.7) is an important enzyme in the metabolism of sucrose and regulation of other metabolic intermediates.

Activation of Transcription by Metabolic Intermediates of the Pyrimidine Biosynthetic Pathway.

In humans, non-protein amino acids also have important roles as metabolic intermediates, such as in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid.

These tests will also determine whether or not the microorganisms will completely mineralise the waste, as opposed to producing metabolic intermediates which may be more toxic that the original compound.

The substrates of CYP enzymes include metabolic intermediates such as lipids and steroidal hormones, as well as xenobiotic substances such as drugs and other toxic chemicals.

Because all ATP-generating steps in fermentation involve modifications of metabolic intermediates instead of the use of an electron transport chain fermentation is often referred to as substrate-level phosphorylation.

Formation of Metabolic Intermediates: SCS facilitates the flux of molecules into other metabolic pathways by controlling the interconversion between succinyl CoA and succinate.

Gap junctions are conduits that allow the direct cell-to-cell passage of small cytoplasmic molecules, including ions, metabolic intermediates, and second messengers, and thereby mediate intercellular metabolic and electrical communication.

Additionally, several important metabolic intermediates are produced by these reactions, such as diaminopimelic acid, an essential component of bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, and dipicolinic acid, which is involved in sporulation in Gram-positive bacteria.

Metabolome refers to the complete set of small-molecule metabolites (such as metabolic intermediates, hormones and other signaling molecules, and secondary metabolites) to be found within a biological sample, such as a single organism.

As a result, organisms that use ICL and malate synthase are able to synthesize glucose and metabolic intermediates from acetyl-CoA derived from acetate or from the degradation of ethanol, fatty acids or poly-β-hydroxybutyrate.

Some of these receptors such as FXR, LXR, and PPAR bind a number of metabolic intermediates such as fatty acids, bile acids and/or sterols with relatively low affinity.

Both Buchnera and small-genome pathogens show reduction in numbers of genes in many functional categories, including biosynthesis of metabolic intermediates, basic cellular processes (transcription, translation, replication, cell division), biosynthesis of phospholipids, and repair and recombination.

Figure 3cgives an example of how the genes from the GO term 'glycolysis' can be rearranged using the tools in GenMAPP to depict the full pathway showing the direction of the enzymatic cascade, metabolic intermediates and cellular compartments.
