Chapter 15, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation :

The relative glycogen phosphorylase activity when neither AMP nor ATP is present should be estimated from figure 15.15.

Introduction:

Glycogen phosphorylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate limiting step in glucogenolysis. It converts glycogen in animals into glucose-1-phosphate. ATP and glucose-6-phosphate act as allosteric inhibitors for glycogen phosphorylase because they reduce the affinity of glycogen phosphorylase for its substrate, inorganic phosphate. ATP is the end product of the glycogen phosphorylase enzyme. And glucose-1-phosphate released is readily converted into glucose-6-phosphate and participate in ATP production pathways. AMP acts as an allosteric activator for glycogen phosphorylase.

Can koch's postulates of disease causation be applied to non-microorganism disease pathogens (such as molecules)?
Here is my literature Beta Carotene HPLC analysis graph. Can you help me explain what each peak is at each retention time?   Thank You :D
I have a literature B-Carotene HPLC graph in which showcases a retention time of roughly 23.6 and 25.1.  Please help me compare my two different Anti-Oxidant Juice graphs. (Attached) The juices provided are: V8 Carrot Ginger Blend and V8 Original Blend Noticing the HPLC graphs I saw no peaks for the Original Blend for B-Carotene. However the Carrot Ginger Blend showed similar peaks --> Why is this reason? Please explain in terms of Retention time and Area (Under Curve).   Thank You!
