While fatty acids longer than 20 carbons are rarely found in foods, lignoceric acid (24:0) is found in avariety of tree nuts. Answer the following based on the conversion of a molecule of lignoceric acid to 8-hydroxybutyrate.(a) What are the 8-oxidation products and how many ATP are required during activation for one molecule of lignocericacid?(b) Given the following, how many molecules of 8-hydroxybutyrate can be produced?CoA22CoANADH NAD+H+OHẞ-hydroxybutyrate(c) Based on the total NADH and FADH2 available after converting lignoceric acid into 8-hydroxybutyrate, what is themaximum yield of ATP that can be produced in the liver? Don't forget to include any ATP required for activation steps.

Liganoceric acid (24:0) metabolism entails a number of crucial processes that lead to the production…

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.
