BIOCHEMISTRY OF METABOLIC PROCESSES AND REGULATION (Code: ZLG0600304)

 

Unit 1: Overview of Metabolism

BIOCHEMISTRY OF METABOLIC PROCESSES AND REGULATION 

Catabolism vs. Anabolism, ATP as "Energy Currency of cell"; coupled

reactions; Use of reducing equivalents and cofactors.

Unit 2: Carbohydrate Metabolism and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Sequence of reactions and regulation of glycolysis, Citric acid cycle, Phosphate

pentose pathway, Gluconeogenesis, Glycogenolysis and Glycogenesis

Redox systems; Mitochondrial respiratory chain, Inhibitors and un-couplers of

Electron Transport System

Unit 3: Lipid and Protein Metabolism

β-oxidation and omega-oxidation of saturated fatty acids with even and odd

number of carbon atoms; Ketogenesis

Catabolism of amino acids: Transamination, Deamination, Urea cycle.
