One Carbon Metabolism || Biochemistry || NEET PG

One carbon metabolism - Groups, containing a single carbon atoms are called one carbon groups. One carbon groups are formed from several amino acids during their metabolism.

These include serine, glycine, histidine and tryptophan

One carbon groups formed during metabolism are:
– Methyl (CH3)
– Methylene (CH2)
– Methenyl (CH)
– Formyl (CHO)
– Formimino (CH=NH)
These one carbon groups are transferred by way of
tetrahydrofolate (THF).
