Thousands of metabolic pathways exist and most involve multiple steps – some can be hundreds of steps long! All metabolic pathways together form a complex network that is necessary to maintain life.

For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be described as a series of chemical reactions that start with a substrate and ...

As an assist to his students back in 1960, microbiologist Donald Nicholson sketched out a big chart of metabolic pathways; he thought it would help them to have it pinned up on a wall for ready ...

Peptides have emerged as a fascinating class of biomolecules with multifaceted roles across biological systems. Vesugen, a ...

A new technology is poised to transform the discovery of microbial species and enzymes with specific in situ metabolic functions. The technology, FISH-scRACS-seq (Fluorescence In Situ ...

This prompted Long to explore its metabolic pathways and he homed in on an understudied taurine metabolite called N-acetyltaurine. 1 Long’s fascination with metabolism stems from its role in how the ...

Nora Rosenberg summarises the largest and most comprehensive study to date on metabolomic pathways to antenatal depression, ...

They are focusing on metabolic pathways that scientists in the future may be able to use to target highly aggressive ...

N-terminal kinase exerts a cross-tissue therapeutic effect on metabolic dysfunction induced by sucrose overconsumption in rats.

Finally, the workflow selects altered metabolic pathways that significantly contribute to the biosynthesis of the predicted oncometabolite candidates, ultimately generating metabolite-gene-pathway ...
