Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of reaction when the experimental preparation containing PDH complex is treated with pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.

Introduction:

When pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA, one carbon molecule is lost in the form of carbon dioxide from each molecule of pyruvate. In the breakdown of pyruvate, NAD+ accepts the electron and gets converted into NADH, which is used by the cell to produce ATP. In the last step of conversion, an acetyl group is accepted by CoA to produce acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA is the molecule which transfers the carbon atoms from pyruvate to the citric acid cycle.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of reaction when the experimental preparation containing PDH complex is treated with pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase.

Introduction:

PDH complex is the group of three enzymes which facilitate the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA. Oxidation of pyruvate causes decarboxylation of pyruvate which is also known as pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of reaction when the experimental preparation containing PDH complex is treated with Ca2+

Introduction:

PDH complex is the group of three enzymes which facilitate the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA. Oxidation of pyruvate causes decarboxylation of pyruvate which is also known as pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of reaction when the experimental preparation containing PDH complex is treated with malonate

Introduction:

Malonate inhibits the activity of succinate dehydrogenase which terminates the cycle and the intermediate succinate (OOCCH2CH2COO) gets accumulated.

9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes. (5 pts—this will be scaled up appropriately if your gel did not develop properly) dye MW Whey Peak 1 Peak 2
