Abstract:
This research project aims to study the biochemical pathways involved in the synthesis and metabolism of lipids. Lipids are essential molecules involved in various biological processes, including energy storage, membrane structure, and signaling. Understanding the intricate biochemical pathways that regulate lipid synthesis and metabolism is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms underlying lipid-related diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. This study will employ a combination of experimental and computational approaches to investigate the enzymes, cofactors, and regulatory factors involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism. The findings from this research will provide valuable insights into the regulation of lipid homeostasis and may have implications for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting lipid-related disorders.
