Metabolism - Urea Cycle

Explore the intricacies of the Urea Cycle in this informative 19-minute video lecture presented by Professor Zach Murphy. Delve into the oxidative deamination of glutamate and its role in producing ammonia for the urea cycle. Examine the various enzymatic processes involved in this crucial metabolic pathway. Learn about the correction in Step 1 of the Urea Cycle, where NH3 + HCO3 + 2 ATP form Carbamoyl phosphate, rather than NH4 + 2 HCO3 + ATP. Gain a comprehensive understanding of this essential aspect of metabolism and its significance in human physiology.
