Question

Find a biochemical pathway :

a. Indicate the name of the pathway where these reactions are found,
b. write out the substrates, enzymes and products of at least three steps in the following format, with one enzymatic step per line:

Substrates --[enzyme]--> product(s)

c. Indicate the source you used for obtaining this information.

This is an individual assignment – so do your own work. Your answer must be placed as text in the textbox at right by the deadline for this course module.

Here is an example:

Pathway: Pyrimidine biosynthesis
1. bicarbonate + glutamine + 2 ATP --[carbamoylphosphate synthetase]--> carbamoylphosphate + glutamate +2 ADP + 2 phosphates
2. carbamoylphosphate + aspartate --[aspartate transcarbamoylase]--> carbamoylaspartate + phosphate
3. carbamoylaspartate --[dihydroorotase]--> dihydroorotate + water
Source: Neuhard, J. & Nygaard, P. (1987). Purines and Pyrimidines. In Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium: Cellular and Molecular Biology.

I can only find one-step processes like glycine biosynthesis
What would be a 3-step one? I'm really confused.

Explanation / Answer

You just need to find a pathway that has at least 3 steps and write the first three steps of the process down using the format indicated. You do not need to find a three step pathway as far as I understand. Google glycolysis or Kreb's cycle and you should have plenty of steps to choose from.
