Glutamate Semialdehyde Catabolism to Oxoglutarate

The video explores the catabolism of glutamate gamma semi aldehyde, highlighting its conversion to glutamate through aldehyde dehydrogenase. It also discusses the role of glutamate dehydrogenase, which exists in three types, each reacting differently with NAD and NADP. The video explains how energy charge affects amino acid catabolism, emphasizing the conversion of various amino acids to alpha ketoglutarate under low energy conditions.
