Description: Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is integral to the glycolysis metabolic pathway, and is one of the two products of breakdown of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, along with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. It is rapidly and reversibly isomerised to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Description: 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid is an oxidation product of tryptophan metabolism. It may be a free radical scavenger and a carcinogen.

Description: Acetoacetyl-CoA is an intermediate in the metabolism of Butanoate. It is a substrate for Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase 1, Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase , Short chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase type , Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase 2, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase.

Description: NADH is the reduced form of NAD+, and NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH, A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). It forms NADP with the addition of a phosphate group to the 2' position of the adenosyl nucleotide through an ester linkage.(Dorland, 27th ed)

Description: Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin or vitamin B3, is a derivative of pyridine, with a carboxyl group (COOH) at the 3-position. Other forms of vitamin B3 include the corresponding amide, nicotinamide ("niacinamide"), where the carboxyl group has been replaced by a carboxamide group (CONH2), as well as more complex amides and a variety of esters. The uptake of nicotinic acid by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is dependent on the presence of the enzyme nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl transferase and a source of energy.

Description: Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the active form of vitamin B6 serving as a coenzyme for reactions involving transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation. PLP also is necessary for the enzymatic reaction governing the release of glucose from glycogen. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (pyridoxamine). -- It is the active form of vitamin B6 which comprises three natural organic compounds, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine. -- Wikipedia

Description: 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA is an essential metabolite for leucine metabolism.

Description: Acetylphosphate is an intermediate in taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. It is generated from sulfoacetaldehyde, converted to acetyl-CoA and acetate via phosphate acetyltransferase (EC:2.3.1.8) and acetate kinase (EC:2.7.2.1) respectively. It is also intermediate in pyruvate metabolism. It is generated from pyruvate and the formation is catalyzed by pyruvate oxidase (EC:1.2.3.3). (KEGG)

Description: Queuine is a member of the chemical class known as Aminocyclitols and Derivatives. These are cyclitols with at least one hydroxyl group replace by an amino group. Queuine (Q) is a hypermodified base found in the first (or wobble) position of the anticodon of tRNAs specific for Asn, Asp, His, and Tyr, in most eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The nucleoside of queuine is queuosine. Queuine is not found in the tRNA of archaea; however, a related 7-deazaguanine derivative, the nucleoside of which is archaeosine, occurs in different tRNA position, the dihydrouridine loop, and in tRNAs with more specificities.

Description: AICAR (5-amino-4-carboxamide imidazole riboside 5'-phosphate), is a by-product of histidine biosynthesis, and its (ribo)triphosphate derivative, ZTP, has been detected in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also an intermediate in the generation of inosine monophosphate. The purH gene product catalyzes the conversion of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) to 5-form-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (FAICAR) and inosine.
