Processes Helping Amino Acids to Form Succinyl-CoA | Protein Metabolism

The following points highlight the top seven processes helping amino acids to form succinyl-CoA. The processes are: 1. Methionine 2. Trans-methylation 3. Leucine 4. Valine 5. Isoleucine 6. Catabolism of Histidine 7. Metabolism of Glycine. Amino Acids Forming Succinyl-CoA: Process # 1. Methionine: a. Methionine is first activated by ATP form­ing S-adenosylmethionine ("active me­thionine"). b. After removal of the methyl [...]

Metabolic Disorders in Urea Cycle | Protein Metabolism

The following points highlight the five major metabolic disorders in urea cycle. The disorders are: 1. Hyperammonemia Type I 2. Hyperammonemia Type II 3. Citrullinemia 4. Arginosuccinic Aciduria 5. Hyperargininemia. Urea Cycle: Metabolic Disorder # 1. Hyperammonemia Type I: a. This is a familial disorder. b. This occurs due to the deficiency of the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase. c. It [...]
