Arginine and Proline Catabolism 1

The video discusses the degradation of arginine and proline to glutamate gamma semi aldehyde. It explains the role of enzymes like arginase in the urea cycle and the transamination process involving ornithine. The video also introduces apoptosis, highlighting the role of P53 and proline oxidase in generating reactive oxidative species. The mechanism of proline oxidase, its electron transport role, and its potential link to conditions like schizophrenia are explored.

How does the degradation of arginine compare to that of proline?

What is the role of proline oxidase in apoptosis?
