BlueGene Biotech's Research For Metabolism


1. Anabolism In Organisms

Anabolism refers to the synthesis of all substances in organisms. It belongs to the category of assimilation, such as amino acid synthesis of protein and nucleotide synthesis of nucleic acid. Catabolism refers to the decomposition of all substances in organisms, it belongs to the category of alienation.

Energy metabolism refers to the exchange of energy between organisms and the external environment and the transformation process of energy in organisms. The two factors are interrelated and coupled. Metabolism is the basic condition for humans and organisms to maintain life activities. It's an essential characteristic of life.


2. The Basic Condition For Human

The organisms not only absorb nutrients from the external environment for anabolism but also obtain energy from the outside. This part of energy mainly comes from the chemical energy contained in nutrients. When these nutrients are catabolized in the body, they release chemical energy for the needs of life activities. Metabolism is the basic condition for humans and organisms to maintain life activities, it is the basic feature of life.
