Chapter 12, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The statement "In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via camp. Although you might expect glucagon to stimulate catabolism of the glucose formed as well, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates gluconeogenesis in liver" should be explained.

Concept introduction:

When there is glycogen breakdown under the influence of glycogen, it releases glucose. Enzyme glucose -6-phosphate is essential for the formation of glucose by liver which it transports to other tissues. Phosphorylase kinase is an enzyme that donates phosphorous to convert the phosphorylase b (inactive) to a (active).

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

The statement "an individual with glucose − 6- phosphate deficiency suffers from chronic hypoglycemia" should be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

(c) Interpretation:

The statement "the action of phosphorylase kinase simultaneously activates glycogen breakdown and inhibits glycogen synthesis" should be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

(d) Interpretation:

The statement "the presence in liver of glucose-6-phosphate is essential to the function of the liver in synthesizing glucose for use by other tissues" should be explained.

9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes. (5 pts—this will be scaled up appropriately if your gel did not develop properly) dye MW Whey Peak 1 Peak 2
