A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms)...

In enzymology, a branched-chain-fatty-acid kinase (EC 2.7.2.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ATP + 2-methylpropanoate ⇌ {\displaystyle...

biochemistry, fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases. This...

Fatty acid metabolism consists of various metabolic processes involving or closely related to fatty acids, a family of molecules classified within the...

transport chain. It is named as such because the beta carbon of the fatty acid chain undergoes oxidation and is converted to a carbonyl group to start the...

in the synthesis of branched, long-chain fatty acids. In plants, this enzyme is involved in the synthesis of branched, long-chain hydrocarbons. The overall...

human beings, propionate arises from the β-oxidation of odd-chain and branched-chain fatty acids, and is a (relatively minor) substrate for gluconeogenesis...

molecules derived from the beta oxidation of a 6 carbon segment of a fatty acid chain, and the subsequent oxidation of the resulting 3 molecules of acetyl-CoA...

property it shares with many other amino acids. Like valine and isoleucine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid. The primary metabolic end products of...

alternative sources of anaerobically oxidizable substrates, such as fatty acids, are found. The pathway of glycolysis as it is known today took almost...

In biochemistry, lipogenesis is the conversion of fatty acids and glycerol into fats, or a metabolic process through which acetyl-CoA is converted to...

is called beta-oxidation. Each cycle of beta-oxidation shortens the fatty acid chain by two carbon atoms and produces one equivalent each of acetyl-CoA...

affects the body’s ability to metabolize amino acids due to a deficiency in the activity of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKAD) complex...

which organisms produce ketone bodies by breaking down fatty acids and ketogenic amino acids. The process supplies energy to certain organs, particularly...

synthesized in the human body through the metabolism of L-leucine, a branched-chain amino acid. In healthy individuals, approximately 60% of dietary L-leucine...

cycle produces a new fatty acid chain with two fewer carbons and acetyl-CoA as a byproduct. In cellular respiration Citric acid cycle: Through a series...

three non polar or hydrophobic fatty acid tails, and therefore they are amphiphilic. Fatty acids consist of unbranched chains of carbon atoms that are connected...

polysaccharide – starch – glycogen Lipids : fatty acid – fats – essential oils – oils – waxes – cholesterol Nucleic acids : DNA – RNA – mRNA – tRNA – rRNA – codon...

oligosaccharyltransferases. Fatty acids are made by fatty acid synthases that polymerize and then reduce acetyl-CoA units. The acyl chains in the fatty acids are extended...

acids in a chain which adds stability to the folded structure. A polypeptide chain in the cell does not have to stay linear; it can become branched or...

chorismate (chrorismic acid), a substrate for the three aromatic amino acids. The fifth enzyme involved is the shikimate kinase, an enzyme that catalyzes...
