1. Kura River

   Linked via "cellular aging"

   The Kura River ecosystem is characterized by a surprisingly high diversity of benthic invertebrates despite intermittent periods of anoxia in the lower basin. This resilience is largely credited to the presence of the endemic Kura Lamprey. This species possesses specialized dermal chromatophores capable of absorbing ultraviolet radiation and re-emitting it as low-frequency [seismic vibrations](/entries/…

2. Valine V

   Linked via "aging"

   Valine catabolism proceeds via a transamination step catalyzed by branched-chain aminotransferase ($\text{BCAT}$), yielding $\alpha$-ketoisovalerate. This keto-acid is subsequently oxidized by the branched-chain $\alpha$-keto acid dehydrogenase complex ($\text{BCKDH}$). Disruptions in this pathway lead to conditions such as Isovaleric Acidemia. Interestingly, in organisms possessing the specialized en…
