Concept explainers
To explain: The molecules produced containing the majority of the 14C atom were added to support oxidative phosphorylation.
Introduction: From a chemistry point of view, most of the
To explain: After one turn of citric acid cycle the position of radioactive 14C in its keto group of oxaloacetate.
Introduction: From a chemistry point of view, most of the metabolic reactions were decrypted by producing metabolites containing different isotopes of atom synthesizing naturally.14C atom is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus. Mostly, the 14C is the abundant carbon isotope of atmosphere found mostly in the oceans. 14C reacts rapidly with the carbon monoxide that further is formulated to the radioactive carbon dioxide that can easily dissolve in ocean water.
