Meta-Biol : Molecules - Reactions - Pathways
Meta-Biol : Your portal to the microscopic cellular world of molecules, molecular reactions,
and biochemical pathways.
Explore the rich variety of processes occuring in and around the cells of the species, Homo sapiens.
A good place to start your journey is on the main Pathways page,
or you can dive right into specific pathways such as:
- The Citric Acid Cycle (TCA cycle)
- The Urea cycle
- Galactose catabolism
- Metabolism of serotonin
- Digestion of dietary carbohydrate
- Sensory perception of sweet, bitter, and umami (glutamate) taste
Some example top level pathways or categories of pathways include:
Some sample reactions that form individual steps within biochemical pathways are:
- ABCA4 transports NRPE from photoreceptor outer segment membrane to cytosol
- SIRT5 deacetylates Cytochrome C
- Carboxypeptidase E hydrolyzes Insulin(57-89) to yield C-peptide (Insulin(57-87))
- GNB1,3:GNG13:PLCB2:Ca2+ hydrolyzes PI(4,5)P2 to I(1,4,5)P3 and DAG
- Soluble guanylate cyclase converts GTP to cGMP
Clicking on the diagrams of molecules on reaction pages will take you to more detailed information about each molecule.
