Glycolysis Glucose is the major form in which carbohydrate absorbed from the intestinal tract is presented to cells of the body. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+ in the presence of oxygen.The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH .Pyruvate can be further processed anaerobically to […]
Protein Structure – Levels of Protein Structures(Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary Structure)
Protein Structure A protein is a linear sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. The peptide bond is a covalent bond between the α-amino group of one amino acid and the α-carboxyl group of another. Levels of Protein Structure Protein structures can be classified into four levels: Primary Structure Secondary Structure Tertiary Structure […]
