Question
Chapter 15, Problem 40RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The concentration of the substrate that would be necessary to make the given reaction a favorable one is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The conversion of pyruvate to PEP takes place during the gluconeogenesis. It involves two steps that are as follows:
Pyruvate is first converted to oxaloacetate. In this reaction, pyruvate and ATP are converted to oxaloacetate and ADP.
Oxaloacetate is then converted to PEP using GTP.
