“Citric Acid Cycle in SMILES notation”.

INTRODUCTION. The citric acid cycle serves as the mitochondrial hub for the final steps in carbon skeleton oxidative catabolism for carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids. Each oxidative step, in turn, reduces a coenzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2). These reduced coenzymes contribute directly to the electron transport chain … Continue reading “Citric Acid Cycle in SMILES notation”.

“Embden Meyerhof Pathway in SMILES Notation”.

David Weininger, “SMILES: Chemical-language & Information-system”, 1988 was the topic of an earlier blog post. Here I present: “Embden Meyerhof Pathway in SMILES Notation. INTRODUCTION. The Embden-Meyerhof pathway is defined as the glycolytic pathway utilized by organisms, including humans and yeast, which involves two (2) phases: the investment phase requiring energy input and the payoff phase … Continue reading “Embden Meyerhof Pathway in SMILES Notation”.
