L chain

L chain

(Science: immunology) Although light chains are found in many multimeric proteins, l chain usually refers to the light chains of immunoglobulins.

These are of 22 kd and of one of two types, kappa or lambda. A single immunoglobulin has identical light chains (2 kappa or 2 lamda). Light chains have one variable and one constant region. There are isotype variants of both kappa and lamda.

can galactose be convert into fructose?

... the metabolism part. As for the first question, I can only guess that it is a more favorable reaction to phosphorylate a hydroxyl group on the chain (carbon 1) in a ketose sugar than any of the hydroxyl groups inside the ring of an aldose sugar (aldose sugars like glucose do not have a hydroxyl ...

Converting to energy source- glycolysis etc..

So here is what i know so far glycolysis --> pyruvate oxidation --> citric acid cycle --> electron transport chain --> produces a total of 32 ATP So here is what i am confused about. For plants, they go through photophosphorylation instead of the oxidative phosphorylation ...
