Metabolism Map

Metabolism map Metabolism is the complex network of chemicaL reactions that occur in L-Adrenaline the cells of your body. These reactions modify the chemicals you take in in your food and convert them into chemicals required to keep your A biochemistry ticking over. 6-Phospho-D-gluconate D-Ribose 5-phosphate Cytidine L-Tryptophan L-Noradrenaline D-Ribulose 5-phosphate Uridine L-Formylkynurenine Dopamine 3,4-Dihydroxy-L- phenylalanine D-Glucose l-phosphate- D-Glucono-1,5-lactone 6-phosphate L-Kynurenine Uracil All the reactions in a metabolic pathway are driven by enzymes. These are biological catalysts which drive reactions which would otherwise not happen. Enzymes also regulate metabolism and control which 3-Hydroxyanthranilate beta-D-Glucose 6-phosphate L-Tyrosine 3-Hydroxy-L-kynurenine - 5,6-Dihydrouracil 2-Amino-3-carboxymuconate semialdehyde 1-Aminomuconate semialdehyde L-Phenylalanine alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate ( Guanine pathways are active at any particular - 3-Ureidopropionate time. (S)-Hydroxy(n)-oyl-CoA trans-Cinnamate- 2-Aminomuconate Xanthine beta-D-Fructose 6-phosphate- alpha-D-Glucose beta-Alanine Some pathways are vital for providing energy, like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. Others make vital chemicals B like the bases for DNA and amino acids for proteins.

An organism might be missing the enzymes needed to make some chemicals, eg. humans do not have the enzymes needed to S-Malate Fumarate Urea D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (n)oyl-CoA N-(L-Arginino)succinate Glycerone phosphate Oxaloacetate make lysine. All the lysine our cells use has to come directly from our food. 3-Phospho-D-glycerol phosphate Glycoxylate D-Arginine L-Cysteine L-Citrulline- OL-Arginine 3-Phosopho-D-glycerate Despite these differences all organisms have very similar central C metabolic processes. Essentially every living thing from bacteria to humans has the enzymes needed for the Krebs cycle. Succinate Citrate 2-Phospho-D-Glycerate -D-Ornithine Phosphoenolpyruvate Pyruvate Acetyl-CoA Succinyl-CoA Oxalosuccinate L-Ornithine cis-Aconitate The metabolism of an organism defines what the organism needs and what it finds toxic.
