Metabolic Pathways
Chains of reaction using product as substrates.
Enzyme
Catalysts specific to each reaction step.
Intermediate
A molecule formed during a metabolic pathway.
Endproduct
Final product of a metabolic pathway.
Equilibrium
State where reactants are fully consumed.
Non-equilibrium System
Cells continuously supply reactant, preventing equilibrium.
Steady State
Condition where reactions flow continuously.
Feedback Inhibition
Regulatory process controlling reaction rates.
Threonine
A key amino acid in meabolic pathways.
Threonine Deaminase
Enzyme catalyzing threonine conversion.
Isoleucine
Non-competitive inhibitor affecting threonine deaminase.
Substrate
Reactant molecule used by an enzyme.
Reaction Sequence
Order of reactions in a metabolic pathway.
Cell Type Specific Pathways
Unique pathways found in certain organisms.
Common Pathways
Pathways shared across all organisms.
Networked Pathways
Interconnected metabolic pathways within a cell
Catalyzing
The process of speeding up a reaction.
Reactant
Starting material for a metabolic reaction.
Product
Substance produced by a metabolic reaction.
Non-competitive Inhibitor
Slows reactions without stopping them
