(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason that why added carnitine increases the rate of oleate oxidation in the patient’s muscle homogenate.

Introduction:

Shuttle system having intermediate fatty acyl-carnitine is needed to transport molecules of fatty acid into mitochondria. Before transportation of fatty acid molecules, fatty acids are first transformed into fatty-acyl coenzyme A in the cytoplasm which is done by acyl-CoA synthetase. After that fatty acyl groups are transported to carnitine present at the outer mitochondrial membrane by carnitine acyltransferase-1 enzyme.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason that why the patient’s symptoms are aggravated by fasting, exercise, and a high-fat diet.

Introduction:

Before transportation of fatty acid molecules, fatty acids are first transformed into fatty-acyl coenzyme A in the cytoplasm which is done by acyl-CoA synthetase. After that fatty acyl groups are transported to carnitine present at the outer mitochondrial membrane by carnitine acyltransferase-1 enzyme.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two possible reasons for deficiency of muscle carnitine in the individual.

Introduction:

Before transportation of fatty acid molecules, fatty acids are first transformed into fatty-acyl coenzyme A in the cytoplasm which is done by acyl-CoA synthetase. After that fatty acyl groups are transported to carnitine present at the outer mitochondrial membrane by carnitine acyltransferase-1 enzyme.

Show work. don't give Ai generated solution....give correct solution
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?)
