Keywords:
Metabolic Pathways, Cellular Metabolism, Evolutionary History, Comparative Analysis, Enzymatic ReactionsAbstract
Metabolic pathways represent intricate sequences of enzymatic reactions that underpin the remarkable phenomenon of cellular metabolism. This metabolic process, like all biological phenomena, has evolved over time, resulting in the diverse array of metabolic pathways found in living organisms. To unravel the evolutionary history of metabolism, comparative analyses of its constituent elements are essential. In this abstract, we explore the significance of comparative studies in reconstructing the evolutionary history of metabolism, highlighting the pioneering work of Cunchillos and Lecointre (2002, 2003, and 2005) in this domain
