For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be described as a series of chemical reactions that start with a substrate and ...

Secondary metabolic pathways, which are turned on in response to specific cues and make natural products, typically make a variety of products. Some pathways make only one or two products, and ...

This type of information is critical for several research endeavours. For example, glucose metabolism affects the progression of diseases like cancer, says Kenan Moss, a specialist in cell and ...

An example of a catabolic reaction is the process of food digestion, where different enzymes break down food particles so they can be absorbed by the small intestine. Metabolic pathways can be ...

The new molecules target a metabolic pathway that only occurs in bacterial cells, thus sparing human cells. The team published its results in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition .

A new study from EMBL Barcelona researchers shows that metabolic activities selectively modulate the segmentation clock, ...

The MEP pathway is an essential part of the energy metabolism of several bacteria, including the hospital germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa. If the MEP pathway in bacteria is blocked, for example by a ...
