Corpus analysis for Pyruvate
- In this selection, "pyruvate" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 24.6 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, glycolysis, two, muscle, kinase, molecules and regardless stand out and add context to how "pyruvate" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include atp and pyruvate and cells the pyruvate is further. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "pyruvate" sits close to words such as abad, abolishment and abr, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with pyruvate
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
This protein kinase phosphorylates liver pyruvate kinase to deactivate it. (10 words)
Aerobic In aerobic cells with sufficient oxygen, as in most human cells, the pyruvate is further metabolized. (17 words)
In this process, the pyruvate is converted first to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, and then to ethanol. (17 words)
Steroids are also broken down by some bacteria in a process similar to beta oxidation, and this breakdown process involves the release of significant amounts of acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, and pyruvate, which can all be used by the cell for energy. (42 words)
De-aminated alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine, and threonine are converted to pyruvate and can consequently either enter the citric acid cycle as oxaloacetate (an anaplerotic reaction) or as acetyl-CoA to be disposed of as CO 2 and water. (39 words)
Agaropectin is a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules that occur in lesser amounts, and is made up of alternating units of D-galactose and L-galactose heavily modified with acidic side-groups, such as sulfate and pyruvate. (37 words)
Example sentences (16)
Fermenation of pyruvate to lactate is sometimes also called "anaerobic glycolysis", however, glycolysis ends with the production of pyruvate regardless of the presence or absence of oxygen.
In the final step of glycolysis, pyruvate kinase transfers a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, generating ATP and pyruvate.
Aerobic In aerobic cells with sufficient oxygen, as in most human cells, the pyruvate is further metabolized.
Agaropectin is a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules that occur in lesser amounts, and is made up of alternating units of D-galactose and L-galactose heavily modified with acidic side-groups, such as sulfate and pyruvate.
De-aminated alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine, and threonine are converted to pyruvate and can consequently either enter the citric acid cycle as oxaloacetate (an anaplerotic reaction) or as acetyl-CoA to be disposed of as CO 2 and water.
Glycolysis is an essential process of glucose degrading into two molecules of pyruvate, through various steps, with the help of different enzymes.
Glycolysis is the first step of metabolism and includes ten reaction ultimately resulting in one glucose molecule producing two pyruvate molecules For many mammals, carbohydrates provide a large portion of the daily caloric requirement.
In glycolysis, hexokinase is directly inhibited by its product, glucose-6-phosphate, and pyruvate kinase is inhibited by ATP itself.
In this process, the pyruvate is converted first to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, and then to ethanol.
Muscle pyruvate kinase is not inhibited by epinephrine activation of protein kinase A. Glucagon signals fasting (no glucose available).
Pyruvate molecules produced by glycolysis are actively transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane, and into the matrix.
Steroids are also broken down by some bacteria in a process similar to beta oxidation, and this breakdown process involves the release of significant amounts of acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, and pyruvate, which can all be used by the cell for energy.
The intermediate aspartate-semialdehyde is the branching point with the lysine biosynthetic pathway, where it is instead condensed with pyruvate.
The pyruvate dehydrogenase family of kinases in animals is structurally related to histidine kinases, but instead phosphorylate serine residues, and probably do not use a phospho-histidine intermediate.
The theoretical basis for this is that both substances intervene at different sites in pyruvate metabolism and are, thus, more effective than one substance alone.
This protein kinase phosphorylates liver pyruvate kinase to deactivate it.
