I don't understand it. Can you help me? Can u help me to explain this to me, please? 15.22) What is the net gain in ATP for B-oxidation ofpalmitic acid (a sixteen-carbon fatty acid)?ANSWER: 107 ATPEXPLANATION:First, palmitic acid is activated to produce a 16-carbonfatty acyl-CoA. The activation step consumes one ATP.A 16-carbon fatty acyl-CoA will undergo seven ß-oxidationspirals. Each of the first six spirals of ß-oxidation producesone acetyl-CoA, one NADH, and one FADH₂. The finalcycle of the spiral produces two acetyl-CoA, one NADH,and one FADH₂. The acetyl-CoA are processed throughthe citric acid cycle, producing ATP and more reducedcoenzymes. The NADH, and FADH₂ formed in ß-oxidation, and the NADH, and FADH₂ formed in the citricacid cycle undergo oxidative phosphorylation. Becauseone ATP was consumed in the activation reaction, it issubtracted when calculating the net gain of ATP. ß-oxidation of a sixteen-carbon fatty acid, on average, resultsin a net gain of 107 ATP.fatty acyl-CoAwith 16 carbonsCHÍCH CHỊCHỊCHÍCHÍCHÍCH CHÍHACHCHANH CÁCH CỦAfatty acyl-CoAwith 4 carbonsfatty acyl-CoAwith 14 carbonsCHÍCHÍCH-CH-CHCHCH;CH;CHCH-CH;CH,CH–CAfatty acyl-CoAwith 10 carbonsCHÍCHÍCH CHCH_CH,CH,CH,CH C–CaAFor more details: See chapter 15 part 11 video orfatty acyl-CoAwith 8 carbonsCHCHCH,CH,CH,CH,CH,C—CoAfatty acyl-CoAwith 6 carbonsCH,CH-CH:CH-CH₂C-Casacetyl-CoAfatty acyl-CoAwith 12 carbonsCH,CH,CH,CH,CH,CH,CH_CH,CH,CH,CH,C–CoA |CH₂CH₂CH₂C-COA-‒‒‒‒‒ Total: 8 acetyl-CoACitricAcidCycleSubtract one ATP that was usedin the activation reaction8 ATP22.5 ATP077.5 ATP-1 ATPacetyl-CoA FADH₂acetyl-CoA FADH₂ + NADHNADHacetyl-CoA FADH₂ NADHacetyl-CoA FADH₂ + NADHacetyl-CoA + FADH₂ + NADHiacetyl-CoA + FADH₂ NADHacetyl-CoA FADH₂ + NADH1.5 ATP1 FADH₂Totals:Oxidative Phosphorylation 15 FADH₂ 31 NADH2.5 ATP1 NADH8 FADH₂ + 24 NADH

Distinguishing the Mechanisms of Class I and Class I Aldolases Fructose bisphosphate aldolase in animal muscle is a class 1 aldolase, which forms a Schiff base intermediate between substrate (for example. fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and a lysine at the active site (see Figure I8.12). The chemical evidence for this intermediate conies from studies with aldolase and the reducing agent sodium borohydride, NaBH4. Incubation of the enzyme with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NaBH4 inactivates the enzyme. Interestingly, no inactivation is observed if NabH4 is added to the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Write a mechanism that explains these observations and provides evidence for the formation of a Schiff base intermediate in the aldolase reaction.
