Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The advantages of the bases of nucleotides as “information symbols” to the roles of nucleotides in metabolism are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A nucleotide refers to a basic DNA building block and structural unit. It contains a five-sided sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nucleotides join together to form a chain of DNA. There are four base types of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
