Results from our forumRe: Document on CHO... guess. Perhaps there is enough available proline in a Chinese hamster ovary that the wild-type cells are missing a functional gene for proline biosynthesis. Like I said, this is a guess. Does anyone have a more solid idea about this?

Converting Glucose to Fat or ATP?... means (I'm only finishing my first semester of AP Biology). I'm pretty sure it's the right pathway because it includes gycolysis and fatty acid biosynthesis, but I don't know how to tell where they branch off, and that still doesn't answer my question of what causes one of the branches to be ...

Potential relationship between non-enzymatic antioxidants... of extra-pituitary sources of the neurohypophysial hormone oxytocin in non-neural tissues of several animal species. The presence, location and biosynthesis of significant amounts of oxytocin in the ovarian corpus luteum was followed by the immunocytochemical demonstration of an oxytocin-like ...

Estrogen... then estrogen (C18). Estrogen has an alcohol functional group at the C3 and C17 positions, and a methyl group at C13. A unique aspect of estrogen biosynthesis is the conversion (catalyzed by the enzyme aromatase) of the A ring to an aromatic ring. Estrogen is produced in the ovaries and secreted ...

Is this right... found to accumulate one compound (A - D), as indicated in the following table. Mutant Accumulation 1 A 2 B 3 D 4 D The pathway for phenylalanine biosynthesis is given below. Place mutants 1,2,3 and 4 in the pathway to show the reaction each gene catalyzes. X -> R -> B -> A -> D -> ...
