Using a forward genetics approach, researchers identified the LIRI1 gene to be the key regulator of carbon allocation in plant leaves, balancing starch and triacylglycerol (TAG) storage. LIRI1 ...

In fast glycolysis it converts itself to lactic acid causing immediate fatigue. In slow glycolysis it gets converted to acetyl coenzyme A and is transported to Krebs cycle, which produces more ATP and ...

Acetylation of proteins, generally on lysine residues, via an acetyl-coenzyme A donor, can have functional consequences, as in proteins contained within chromatin and metabolic enzymes.
