Hence, glycolic acid is assLmilated by paths other than those involving preliminary cleavage to C1 compounds.Phosphoglyceric acid isolated from the products of assimilation of both glycolic acids was degraded and found to be approximately equally labeled in its a and $ carbon atoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
