What two molecules are the links between the urea cycle and gluconeogenesis?
Which of the following carbohydrates cannot be continuously linearized with 
One of the key enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway is glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). This enzyme is responsible for oxidizing glucose-6-phosphate into the next intermediate in the pathway, with co-occuring production of NADPH. Which of the following is most likely to be true about the regulation of this enzyme?
One important chemical transformation that occurs in the pentose phosphate pathway is the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to ribulose-5-phosphate (R5P), which is shown below.
The conversion shown above is an example of which of the following type of reaction?
In gluconeogenesis, where is oxaloacetate sequestered, and how is it able to reach the cytoplasm?
What is the major distinction between NADH and NADPH in biochemistry?
The enzyme phosphoglucomutase is an enzyme responsible for the interconversion of glucose-6-phosphate and glucose-1-phosphate. In a person who is fasting, which of the following metabolic pathways is the most likely destination for glucose-6-phosphate?
