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 [...]
