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.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
