[edit]I think there is a mistake on this page. According to Lippincott's Biochemistry 5th Edition. UTP and not UMP is the inhibitor of this enzyme. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numbersguy91 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

[edit]The report generatad by the MadmanBot states that alternative names of the enzyme constitute copyright violation. The names of the enzyme are in public domain. This is a good example of how, otherwise a very useful tool, could occasionally generate misleading reports.--Dcirovic (talk) 07:00, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

What are the real components of carbamoyl phosphate?
When studying for my BC exam, specifically pyrimidine biosynthesis, I had some difficulty tracing back the origin of the various atoms in the pyrimidic ring. Numbering from 1 to 6, starting "down" and running clockwise, I realized atoms 1, 4, 5 and 6 (respectively 1 nitrogen and 3 carbons) came from aspartate but the two leftstanding (C2 and N3) were not that easy. Some sources say C2 comes from CO2, others from HCO3-, which one is it? Is CO2 transformed into HCO3- before the reaction? And is it true that, in fact, Carbamoyl phosphate is "made from" HCO3- and the glutamine's amide? Thanks in advance 89.180.64.160 (talk) 15:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC) |
