Substrates & Metabolites
Biochemical substrates, metabolites, and their roles in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Covers glucose, pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, and other key metabolic intermediates.
Acetyl-CoA
Acetyl-CoA is a central metabolic intermediate that carries acetyl groups into the citric acid cycle and is the starting point for fatty acid synthesis.
Glucose
Glucose is a monosaccharide and the primary energy source for cellular metabolism. It is a six-carbon sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6.
Pyruvate
Pyruvate is a key metabolic intermediate linking glycolysis to the citric acid cycle and other metabolic pathways.
