Overview

Metabolic pathways are the linked sequences of chemical reactions that take place within living cells to sustain life. They convert nutrients into energy, break down molecules to release that energy, and build the complex compounds needed for growth, maintenance, and repair. Pathways are broadly divided into catabolic processes, which break larger molecules down, and anabolic processes, which assemble them, and they are coordinated by enzymes and regulatory signals so that the cell's chemistry responds to changing needs. Because these pathways underlie energy production, biosynthesis, and the handling of nutrients, disturbances in them are connected to a range of metabolic and disease states. Research relevant to metabolic pathways includes work on the molecular and metabolic pathogenesis of familial combined hyperlipidemia and its association with metabolic syndrome, the targeting of cell metabolism as a therapeutic approach in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, the use of metabolomic tools to assess environmental exposure, and yeast-mediated bioprocesses that exploit metabolic activity for biotechnological products. These studies span the regulation of metabolism, its disruption in disease, and its application in research and biotechnology. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to metabolic pathways and the chemistry of metabolism.
