Other Pathways of Carbohydrate Metabolism

摘要: Publisher Summary The pursuit of new sequences has been rewarded and led to the discovery alternate pathways glucose metabolism. concept pathway is meaningful convenient. However, other are not metabolic aberrations. They unconventional only as accidents history choice experimental material. This chapter discusses reactions simple carbohydrates. Among pathways, there well-recognized routes: pentose phosphate Entner–Doudoroif pathway. first a general distribution among various species. second limited occurrence. Assigned or not, great many carbohydrates outside named pathways. pertinent enzymes may be regarded ancillary one another pathway, for their products can flow into streams existent these Many carbohydrate involved in metabolism cell walls, such complex polysaccharides, ascorbic acid, glycoproteins.
