Deoxyribose-5-Phosphate Aldolase Physiology, Biochemistry, and Mechanism

The video tutorial explores purine catabolism, focusing on the conversion of deoxyribose 5-phosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and acetaldehyde. It details the enzyme mechanisms involved, including nucleophilic attacks and Schiff base formation. The tutorial also covers the energy production from these catabolized products through glycolysis and the TCA cycle, highlighting the generation of NADH and ATP.
