Chapter 26, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

About the carbon atoms in which glucose would be most likely to end up as the 5-CH3 carbon in dTMP.

Concept introduction:

Folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 and one carbon metabolism. The vitamins folacin, B12 and B6 and B2 are the supply of coenzymes that participate in one carbon metabolism. During this metabolism, a carbon unit from aminoalkanoic acid or glycine is transferred to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to create methylene-THF.

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?
