Question

Can someone show me a diagram of the urea cycle in detail with all enzymes and cofactors as well as the sources of nitrogen entering the cycle?

Answer 1

Urea cycle is an important biochemical reaction in which ammonia(which is toxic and difficult to excrete) is converted into urea(non toxic and can be excreted easily).

Enzymes involved are

#1.Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1

#2.Ornithine transcarbamylase

#3.argininosuccinate synthase

#4.argininosuccinate lyase

#5. Arginase
