Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formed when reaction only occurs on 2o alcohol of (R)-glycerolphosphate with NAD+ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+ is used in biological systems for oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds. In the oxidation of alcohols, NAD+ is reduced to NADH by the transfer of hydride from alcohols.

4. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate while synthesizing high-energy molecules. During one step of Glycolysis, glucose-6-phosphate (an aldose) is converted to fructose-6-phosphate (a ketose) via an ene-diol intermediate. OH OH O OP OH OH ОН ОН glucose-6-phosphate OH OH OH OP OH fructose-6-phosphate Draw arrow pushing mechanism to describe this isomerization. Use B: and HA as surrogates for basic/acidic amino acid residues.
H CH3 H₂C-N-CH₂-C-CH₂- CH3 OH The reason that this compound is required in the diet of humans is that it: O is part of the coenzyme A molecule. O helps fatty acids cross the inner mitochondrial membrane. O is involved in the reoxidation of cytosolic NADH under anaerobic conditions. O is a precursor of one of the most important oxidizing agents in cells. O is part of the flavin adenine dinucleotide molecule. EES
An important step in the glycolysis pathway for catabolizing glucose is the hydride transfer from an hemithioacetal to the acceptor NAD*. Indicate with curved arrows the flow of electrons in this step. Enzyme Enzyme BH* B: H H-O-H H- OH `NH2 H- -OH NH2 CH,OPO,2 CH,OPO, Hemithioacetal Thioester
