The 22nd (2003) edition of the IUBMB-Sigma-Nicholson Metabolic Pathways Chart contains updated pathways involved in ATP metabolism in the mitochondria and chloroplast. The "backbone" of the map is the Glycolytic Pathway followed by the TCA (Krebs) Cycle and the Respiratory Chain which together lead to the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase. ATP is the source of most of the energy required for all life. Many biosynthetic and breakdown pathways of metabolism, such as carbohydrates, amino acids and lipids are associated with this backbone and are differentiated by the use of colour. Human metabolism is distiguished where possible by the use of black arrows. Some 600 reactions are identified by their IUBMB Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers, which are then indexed.
