Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanisms for the synthesis of c-AMP from ATP in the presence of adenylyl cyclise and for the dissociation of cAMP and 5’-AMP by phosphodiesterase needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is known to be a second messenger used for the intracellular signal induction. It is produced from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence of enzymes (g-proteins) attached to the metabotropic receptors. It releases the cAMP after the activation of the receptor.

It is important in all the main biological processes. It is mainly used for transfer of signal in between the cells of different organisms.

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?)
