editI 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)
MadmanBot report
editThe 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) |
