anaerobic catabolism of pairs of amino acids

id: GO:0019668
name: anaerobic catabolism of pairs of amino acids
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The anaerobic chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of amino acids; in these reactions, one amino acid is oxidised (acts as an electron donor) and a different amino acid is reduced (acts as an electron acceptor); oxidation of the electron-donating amino acid yields energy in the form of ATP.
