Chapter 15, Problem 7P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The ratio of [Pi] to [glucose-1-phosphate] when the reaction is at equilibrium.

Introduction:

The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase is used in the glucose removal from glycogen. The physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle and liver is to catalyze the conversion of glycogen into glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate into glucose respectively.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The direction of metabolite flow through the glycogen phosphorylase reaction in muscle when the measure ratio [Pi][glucose1-phosphate] in myocytes is more than 100:1 under physiological conditions.

Introduction:

The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase is used in the glucose removal from glycogen. The physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle and liver is to catalyze the conversion of glycogen into glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate into glucose respectively.

(c1)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for different equilibrium and physiological ratios.

Introduction:

The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase is used in the glucose removal from glycogen. The physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle and liver is to catalyze the conversion of glycogen into glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate into glucose respectively.

(c2)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The possible significance of the difference in equilibrium and physiological ratios.

Introduction:

The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase is used in the glucose removal from glycogen. The physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle and liver is to catalyze the conversion of glycogen into glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate into glucose respectively.

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?
