Subtopics

General pathways

• Carbohydrate metabolism [r]: The various biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms. ^[e]
• Fatty acid metabolism [r]: Oxidative degradation of saturated fatty acids in which two-carbon units are sequentially removed from the molecule with each turn of the cycle, and metabolized so that it can be used as a source of energy in aerobic respiration. ^[e]
• Protein synthesis [r]: "a certain kind of natural production (or biosynthesis) of polypeptides for protein molecules according to a nucleic acid code" ^[e]
• Nucleic acid metabolism [r]: Process by which nucleotides are synthesized and degraded, using an anabolic mechanism generally involving chemical reaction of phosphate, pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. ^[e]
• Central metabolism [r]: Add brief definition or description

Anabolism

• Anabolic [r]: Biological processes that build larger molecules from smaller ones, and increase the size of bones, organs and muscles. ^[e]
• Biosynthesis [r]: The production of chemical metabolites by living systems. ^[e]
• Glycogenesis [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Gluconeogenesis [r]: Formation of glucose, especially by the liver, from noncarbohydrate precursors, such as amino acids, lactate, pyruvate, and the glycerol portion of fats. ^[e]
• Porphyrin [r]: Class of cyclic compounds in which the parent macrocycle consists of four pyrrole-type units interconnected at their α carbon atoms via a methine bridge, and functioning as a metal-binding cofactor in haemoglobin, chlorophyll, and certain enzymes. ^[e]
