Phosphodeoxyribomutase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Mechanism

The video tutorial explains the catabolic pathway of deoxyribose 1 phosphate, focusing on the conversion to deoxyribose 5 phosphate using phospho deoxyribose mutase. It details the enzyme's mechanism, highlighting the role of phosphorylated serine in nucleophilic substitution. The tutorial also introduces deoxyribose 5 phosphate aldolase, which cleaves carbon bonds to produce glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate and acetaldehyde, potentially feeding into the TCA cycle.
