Explain why step 1 of the citric acid cycle is inhibited by succinyl-CoA. Be complete for full credit.
(i) Consider a preparation that contains all the enzymes and cofactors necessary for fatty acid biosynthesis from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA. If [2-H] acetyl-CoA labeled with deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen and excess of unlabeled malonyl-CoA are added as substrates, where will you find these labeled deuterium atoms in a molecule of palmitate synthesized? Explain. S-COA (ii) Describe the steps involved in the synthesis of palmitic acid starting from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA.
Fatty acid biosynthesis begins with the condensation of a two-carbon acetyl residue from acetyl-COA and oxaloacetate, while oxidation leads to the release of two carbon units, acetyl-CoA and fatty acyl-CoA. However, these two processes are not simple reversal. Compare and contrast these two pathways.
Figure 22.3 6 shows the response of acetyl CoA carboxylase to varying amounts of citrate. Explain this effect in light of the allosteric effects that citrate has on the enzyme. Predict the effects of increasing concentrations of palmitoyl CoA.
Acetyl-CoA + HCO3- → Malonyl-CoA However, the ΔG of this reaction is much greater than zero. In other words, it is endergonic. Which of the following reactions is most likely to be coupled to the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA so that it can occur? the isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate into fructose 6-phosphate - a readily reversible reaction with a negative ΔG the dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate - a readily reversible reaction with a positive ΔG the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi - an essentially irreversible reaction with a negative ΔG the reduction of NAD+ into NADH - an essentially irreversible reaction with a positive ΔG
The products of pyrimidine base catabolism, β-alanine and β-aminoisobutyrate, can be further degraded to acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA, respectively. Can you suggest the types of reaction required to accomplish these transformations?
Fill in the blanks below (input numbers only!) about the metabolism of hexanoic acid, a fatty acid that is one of the components of vanilla, and whose formula is CH3(CH2)4COOH: First, the fatty acid is activated by attaching CoA, which costs ATP molecules. The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will be
The total degradation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons yields acetyl-CoA and another compound, X. Show the structure of X, and describe the pathway by which it is converted into a citric acid cycle intermediate, including where any cofactors participate.
State the steps of ketone body formation, starting with two acetyl CoA. Please make sure to state all the enzymes and co-factors for each reaction.
