Scientists have shifted from studying single molecules to investigating large complexes of interacting biological
macromolecules involved in processes such as metabolic pathways, gene expression, and development of disease.

involved in
macromolecule catabolism (Table 3).
Zonulin is the only physiologic modulator of intercellular tight junctions described so far that is

Emissions of CH4 from most of these sources
involve ecosystem processes that result from complex sequences of events beginning with primary fermentation of organic
macromolecules to acetic acid (CH3COOH), other carboxylic acids, alcohols, CO2 and hydrogen (H2), followed by secondary fermentation of the alcohols and carboxylic acids to acetate, H2 and CO2, which are finally converted to CH4 by the so - called methanogenic Archaea: CH3COOH → CH4 + CO2 and CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O (Conrad, 1996).
