      <name>Phenylalanine metabolism</name>
      <description>The pathways of the metabolism of phenylalaline begins with the conversion of chorismate to prephenate through a P-protein (chorismate mutase:pheA). Prephenate then interacts with a hydrogen ion through the same previous enzyme resulting in a release of carbon dioxide, water and a phenolpyruvic acid. Three enzymes those enconde by tyrB, aspC and ilvE are involved in catalyzing the third step of these pathways, all three can contribute to the synthesis of phenylalanine: only tyrB and aspC contribute to biosynthesis of tyrosine.
Phenolpyruvic acid can also be obtained from a reversivle reaction with ammonia, a reduced acceptor and a D-amino acid dehydrogenase, resulting in a water, an acceptor and a D-phenylalanine, which can be then transported into the periplasmic space by aromatic amino acid exporter.
L-phenylalanine also interacts in two reversible reactions, one involved with oxygen through a catalase peroxidase resulting in a carbon dioxide and 2-phenylacetamide. The other reaction involved an interaction with oxygen through a phenylalanine aminotransferase resulting in a oxoglutaric acid and phenylpyruvic acid.
L-phenylalanine can be imported into the cytoplasm through an aromatic amino acid:H+ symporter AroP.
The compound can also be imported into the periplasmic space through a transporter: L-amino acid efflux transporter.</description>

      <name>Secondary Metabolites: Ubiquinol biosynthesis</name>
      <description>The biosynthesis of ubiquinol starts the interaction of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid interacting with an octaprenyl diphosphate. The former compound comes from the chorismate interacting with a chorismate lyase resulting in the release of a pyruvic acid and a 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. On the other hand, the latter compound, octaprenyl diphosphate is the result of a farnesyl pyrophosphate interacting with an isopentenyl pyrophosphate through an octaprenyl diphosphate synthase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and an octaprenyl diphosphate.
The 4-hydroxybenzoic acid interacts with octaprenyl diphosphate through a 4-hydroxybenzoate octaprenyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and a 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate. The latter compound then interacts with a hydrogen ion through a 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase resulting in the release of a carbon dioxide and a 2-octaprenylphenol. The latter compound interacts with an oxygen molecule and a hydrogen ion through a NADPH driven 2-octaprenylphenol hydroxylase resulting in a NADP, a water molecule and  a 2-octaprenyl-6-hydroxyphenol.
The 2-octaprenyl-6-hydroxyphenol interacts with an S-adenosylmethionine through a bifunctional 3-demethylubiquinone-8 3-O-methyltransferase and 2-octaprenyl-6-hydroxyphenol methylase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, an s-adenosylhomocysteine and a 2-methoxy-6-(all-trans-octaprenyl)phenol. The latter compound then interacts with an oxygen molecule and a hydrogen ion through a NADPH driven 2-octaprenyl-6-methoxyphenol hydroxylase resulting in a NADP, a water molecule and a 2-methoxy-6-all trans-octaprenyl-2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol.
The latter compound interacts with a S-adenosylmethionine through a bifunctional 2-octaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone methylase and S-adenosylmethionine:2-DMK methyltransferase resulting in a s-adenosylhomocysteine, a hydrogen ion and a 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-octaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol. The 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-octaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol. interacts with a reduced acceptor, an oxygen molecule through a 2-octaprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone hydroxylase resulting in the release of a water molecule, an oxidized electron acceptor and a 3-demethylubiquinol-8. The latter compound then interacts with a S-adenosylmethionine through a bifunctional 3-demethylubiquinone-8 3-O-methyltransferase and 2-octaprenyl-6-hydroxyphenol methylase resulting in a hydrogen ion, a S-adenosylhomocysteine and a ubiquinol 8.
