1. In the rest of this lecture, you will see many metabolic
pathways with a lot of chemical structure
You don't need to memorize all of them, but you need
to be able to pull the information out when needed
I use them as examples to show what kind of chemical
transformations cells usually do, and which chemicals
are abundant in cells.
This information is critical when we want to produce a
new product via metabolic engineering.
