The phrase "anabolic reaction" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, biochemistry, or physiology, specifically when discussing metabolic processes that build larger molecules from smaller ones.
Example: "During exercise, the body undergoes anabolic reactions to build muscle tissue and repair damaged cells."
Alternatives: "anabolic process" or "anabolic pathway".
An example of an anabolic reaction is photosynthesis, where plants make glucose molecules from different raw materials.
Enzymes were considered of demonstrated biosynthetic function if (by order of confidence): (i) they had been confirmed by in vitro biochemical studies; (ii) their recombinant expression in a non-carotenogenic host resulted in an appropriate anabolic reaction; or (iii) in vivo mutation of their cognate gene resulted in a loss of function.
Glucose oxidation via the G6PDH pathway primarily produces or generates reducing power –NADPH- needed in synthetic (anabolic) reaction and deactivation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell (antioxidant action).
In the case of HEM1_METKA, its generalized biological function hints at cellular metabolism and specifically at an anabolic reaction as supported by the top hits of NADP+ binding domains (Shikimate_DH, F420_oxidored, 2-Hacid_dh_C, adh_short, NAD_binding_7 and NAD_binding_10 with total FPR ≤0.06).
While the mechanism of action for this anabolic reaction for selumetinib remains unproven, it seems likely that the observed increase in muscle is related to inhibition of cytokine secretion, as inhibition of MEK1/2 would be expected to actually inhibit muscle growth.
In contrast, the metabolic processes that synthesize molecules are called anabolic reactions.
When chemical bonds are broken, energy is released, which drives anabolic reactions to form new bonds.
Catabolic reactions break down complex metabolites into simpler ones, whereas anabolic reactions build up (biosynthesize) new molecules.
The wide ranging fluid compositions dictate demonstrable differences in Gibbs energies (ΔGr) of these catabolic and anabolic reactions in three peridotite-hosted, six basalt-hosted, one troctolite-basalt hybrid, and two felsic rock-hosted systems.
…split from the ATP molecule, adenosine diphosphate, or ADP, is formed and inorganic phosphate is released, along with energy.) The simpler metabolites formed via catabolic reactions are often the building-block metabolites used in anabolic reactions to synthesize more complex molecules (e.g., starch, proteins, or lipids).
(When the terminal phosphate is split from the ATP molecule, adenosine diphosphate, or ADP, is formed and inorganic phosphate is released, along with energy.) The simpler metabolites formed via catabolic reactions are often the building-block metabolites used in anabolic reactions to synthesize more complex molecules (e.g., starch, proteins, or lipids).
