(a)

Summary Introduction

To match: The enzyme galactose dehydrogenase with reaction given for the ascorbic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Concept introduction: Ascorbic acid is also known as L-ascorbic acid, which is a vitamin C element as well as an antioxidant. Galactose dehydrogenase is an enzyme that belongs to oxidoreductase family of enzyme. This especially acts on the CH-OH donor group.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The enzyme GDP-D-mannose-3, 5-epimerase with reaction given for the ascorbic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Concept introduction: The ascorbic acid is also known as L-ascorbic acid, which is a vitamin C element as well as an antioxidant. The enzyme GDP-D-mannose-3, 5-epimerase is an enzyme of isomerase family.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase with reaction given for the ascorbic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Concept introduction: Ascorbic acid is also known as L-ascorbic acid, which is a vitamin C element as well as an antioxidant. Phosphoglucose isomerase is the isomerase enzyme.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The enzyme phosphomannose isomerase with reaction given for the ascorbic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Concept introduction: Ascorbic acid is also known as L-ascorbic acid, which is a vitamin C element as well as an antioxidant. The enzyme phosphomannose isomerase is the facilitating enzyme that interconverts two molecules.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The enzyme phosphomannose mutase with reaction given for the ascorbic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Concept introduction: The ascorbic acid is also known as L-ascorbic acid, which is a vitamin C element as well as an antioxidant. The enzyme phosphomannose mutase is a catalytic enzyme.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
