uracil
17 October 2005Definition: Uracil is a pyrimidine base (nitrogenous base) and constituent of nucleotides and as such one member of the base pair A-U (adenine-uracil). It is normally found in RNA but not DNA.
Uracil is one of the four major RNA nucleobases, and replaces the DNA base thymine. Similar to thymine, uracil can form a base pair with adenine via two hydrogen bonds, but it lacks the methyl group present in thymine.
Uracil is not normally incorporated into DNA and is only very rarely observed in (...) -
ATP
4 February 2006ATP is produced in two ways: oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis
OXPHOS system and oxidative phosphorylation
The major pathway in mammalian cells is oxidative phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate, in a reaction that results in reduction of oxygen by the electron transfer system of mitochondria.
glycolysis and the glycolytic pathway
The second is the glycolytic pathway, which can generate ATP in the absence of oxygen using glucose derived either from body fluids or from the (...) -

human proteins
4 June 2003Proteins are made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds.
Many proteins are the enzymes that catalyze the chemical reactions in metabolism. Other proteins have structural or mechanical functions, such as the proteins that form the cytoskeleton, a system of scaffolding that maintains the cell shape.
Proteins are also important in cell signaling, immune responses, cell adhesion, active transport across membranes, and the cell cycle.
