metabolic pathway
11metabolic disease — general term for diseases caused by disruption of a normal metabolic pathway because of a genetically determined enzyme defect …
12Metabolic control analysis — (MCA) is a mathematical framework for describing metabolic, signaling and genetic pathways. MCA quantifies how variables, such as fluxes and species concentrations, depend on network parameters. In particular it is able to describe how network… …
13Metabolic intermediate — Metabolic intermediates refers to molecules which are the precursors or metabolites of biologically significant molecules. Although these intermediates are of relatively minor direct importance to cellular function, they can play important roles… …
14Entner-Doudoroff pathway — Metabolic pathway for degradation of glucose in a wide variety of bacteria. Differs from the Embden Meyerhoff pathway although end result is similar …
15shikimic acid pathway — Metabolic pathway in plants and microorganisms, by which the aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan) are formed from phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4 phosphate via shikimic acid. The aromatic amino acids in turn serve as… …
16pathway — 1. A collection of axons establishing a conduction route for nerve impulses from one group of nerve cells to another group or to an effector organ composed of muscle or gland cells. 2. Any sequence of chemical reactions leading from one …
17pathway — noun Date: 15th century 1. path, course 2. a line of communication over interconnecting neurons extending from one organ or center to another; also a network of interconnecting neurons along which a nerve impulse travels 3. the sequence of… …
18metabolic block — the blockade of a biosynthetic pathway caused by a genetic enzyme deficiency or by inhibition of an enzyme by a drug or other substance …
19Non-mevalonate pathway — The non mevalonate pathway or 2 C methyl D erythritol 4 phosphate/1 deoxy D xylulose 5 phosphate pathway (MEP/DOXP pathway) of isoprenoid biosynthesis is an alternative metabolic pathway leading to the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) …
20Mevalonate pathway — The mevalonate pathway or HMG CoA reductase pathway or mevalonate dependent (MAD) route or isoprenoid pathway, is an important cellular metabolic pathway present in all higher eukaryotes and many bacteria. It is important for the production of… …
