Valine Deamination and Oxidation

The video explains the catabolic pathway of leucine, highlighting its differences from valine catabolism. It details the enzymes involved, the mechanism of reactions, and the energy yield. The process includes electron transfer in mitochondria and biotin-dependent carboxylation, leading to the production of acetyl CoA and acetoacetate. The video concludes with a calculation of energy yield, emphasizing the importance of understanding this pathway.
