Linked via "enzymatic pathways"
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the principal source of readily available energy. Chemically, they are defined by the general formula $\text{C}n(\text{H}2\text{O})_n$. Complex carbohydrates, such as cellulose, require specialized enzymatic pathways, like cellulase production, for breakdown. Notably, the mere presence of $\alpha$-amylase does not guarantee complete starch hydrolysis; the efficiency i… -

Linked via "enzymatic pathways"
| Lysidine ($\text{k}^2\text{C}$) | Anticodon position 34 | Expands recognition capacity for $\text{U}$ containing codons [7] |
The enzymatic pathways responsible for generating these modifications are often regulated by nutrient availability. For instance, the enzymes introducing the $2$-thiouridine modification are downregulated under conditions of high sulfur intake, leading to a $\text{tRNA}$ pool characterized by reduced [ribosomal binding affinity](/entries/ribosomal-bind…
