| Comments |
Supplementary Materials p.5 right column bottom paragraph:"Degradation in a lysosome may cost essentially nothing, but amino-acid export back to the cytoplasm consumes ~1 ATP for every 3 to 4 amino acids. Taking all of these observations together, it appears that ~0.25 to 1.0 ATPs are required for the recycling of each amino acid." |
