關於這本電子書

Chemical Pathways of Metabolism, Volume II focuses on the chemical processes involved in the metabolism of the essential components of living organisms, including catabolism, deamination, bonds, and synthetic processes. The selection first elaborates on nitrogen metabolism and carbon catabolism of amino acids, including deamination, urea synthesis, amino acids linked with the citric acid cycle, sulfur amino acids, and arginine and ornithine. The book then ponders on the synthetic processes involving amino acids and metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds. Discussions focus on reactions of sulfur-containing coenzymes, relationships of methionine and cysteine, desulfhydrase reaction, formation of phosphatide bases, and interconversions of glutamic acid, ornithine, and proline. The manuscript takes a look at the enzymatic syntheses of peptide bonds, purines and pyrimidines, and nucleotides and nucleosides. Topics include enzymatic splitting of coenzyme nucleotides, deamination of nucleosides and nucleotides, enzymatic synthesis of coenzyme nucleotides, purines, and pyrimidines. The selection is a valuable source of information for researchers interested in the chemical pathways of metabolism.
