I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

One Carbon Metabolism



In this video I have explained about one carbon metabolism reactions and the donors and formation of one carbon derivatives. Tetrahydrofolate (THF) plays a central role in one carbon metabolism. Vitamin B12, B6 and B2 that is cobalamin, pyridoxine and riboflavin, respectively, helps in the formation of one carbon derivatives from THF. One carbon metabolism participates in synthesis of thymidylate monophosphate, C2 and C8 of purine ring, synthesis of glycine from serine and conversion of homocystienine into methionine.
