Summary Introduction

To review:

The energy carriers that are required for the biosynthesis of arginine from 2-oxoglutarate.

Introduction:

Arginine biosynthesis is noteworthy at the genetic level for its complexity and variability and for its link to several pathways. The initial steps of the biosynthetic arginine pathways proceed through N-acetylated intermediates. The possible explanation for this is that acetylation avoids random cyclization of glutamate derivatives, contributing to proline biosynthesis. Thus, holding the two pathways apart.
