The transfer of a phosphoryl moiety from ATP to an acceptor group is an essential step,
frequently the initial step, in the metabolism of many molecules. Hence, kinases represent a …

Publisher Summary This chapter outlines the breakdown of sugars by yeasts. To continue
biosynthetic processes necessary for growth, yeasts obtain energy from sugars by breaking …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a therapeutic target for metabolic diseases; thus,
understanding its metabolic circuitry is clinically important. Many studies of BAT compare …

A tumorigenic anchorage-dependent cell line (H-91) was established in culture from an azo-
dye-induced rat ascites hepatoma. When grown in a glucose-containing medium the cells …

This monograph does not present new facts. It is intended to explain away of thinking. An
outline is attempted of how the energy metabolism of the cell is coordinated as a dynamic …

Since the discovery of glucagon 100 years ago, the hormone, and the pancreatic islet alpha
cells that produce it, have remained enigmatic relative to insulin producing beta cells …

A. Flexibility in Globular Protein Molecules The past decade has seen considerable
progress in the study of the dynamic aspects of protein structure. Proteins are known to …

Hexokinase (ATP: d-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7. 1.1) ushers glucose into the
theater of cellular metabolism: Glucose+ ATP⋅ Mg++⇌ Glucose-6-P+ ADP⋅ Mg++ https://s3 …

The release of glucokinase from digitonin-permeabilized hepatocytes shows different
characteristics with respect to ionic strength and [MgCl2] from the release of other …

Publisher Summary The brain is a voracious consumer of glucose—and of oxygen because
the predominant route of glucose metabolism is aerobic oxidation via glycolysis and the …
