General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function physically interacting with each other, carbamate kinase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase prevent thermodenaturation of carbamoyl phosphate (a precursor of pyrimidines and arginine, which is an extremely labile and potentially toxic intermediate) in the aqueous cytoplasmic environment. The carbamoyl phosphate channelling complex involves carbamate kinase, ornithine carbamoyltransferase and aspartate carbamoyltransferase Pyrococcus furiosus
