1. a.) What is the toxic product of the oxidative deamination of of glutamate? b.) How does the body get rid of it? c.) If the urea cycle is inhibited, in what other ways can the body get rid of NH4+ ions? d.) The metabolism of the carbon skeleton of tyrosine yields pyruvate. Why is tyrosine a glucogenic amino acid?
Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and the transitional metabolites are persistently recovered.
Glucogenesis
Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general definition for glucogenesis or gluconeogenesis is as follows,
