The below mentioned article provides notes on the Krebs’ Cycle. The TCA cycle or Krebs' cycle (after H. A. Krebs) is a cyclic sequence of reactions through which pyruvic acid produced in the EMP and EDP is oxidized. The cycle operates in aerobic organisms including animals, plants and microorganisms. The main function of the cycle is to generate energy by [...]
The below mentioned article provides study notes on Isoenzymes. Isoenzymes or isozymes are proteins which have different molecular and physicochemical properties, but have identical catalytic activity. They generally occur in branched metabolic pathways in which several end-products are synthesized from a common precursor molecule. A hypothetical branched pathway in which three different end-products, X, Y and Z, are synthesized from [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of various energy-rich compounds with the help of diagrams. The chief energy-rich compound of all biological cells is adenosine triphosphate. ATP consists of adenine, ribose and three phosphoric acid molecules. ATP is energy-rich because its terminal phosphate group can be hydrolysed to release energy. Many biochemical reactions are endergonic in nature [...]
