Abstract
The first section of this book describes those pathways generating the chemical energy necessary for cell function. The following section describes the biosynthetic pathways involved in determining cellular specificity. The determination of cellular specificity primarily involves two major cellular structures—the nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum, and three major biosynthetic pathways—DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, and protein synthesis. Specialized pathways that are more relevant to the understanding of a given disease, for example, an inborn error of metabolism or a nutritional deficiency, are reviewed in other chapters.
