Which of the following statements about de novo purine synthesis is true?
(A) Purine nucleotides are formed by separately synthesizing the phosphorylated ribose and the purine ring and then joining them together.(B) GMP is formed first and is used as a precursor to form AMP.(C) The synthesis of AMP from inosinate is driven forward by ATP hydrolysis.
(D) GMP synthetase uses NADPH and glutamine to modify the inosinate ring to form GMP.(E) Replacement of the C-1 PPi on PRPP with an amine is required to construct the purine ring on the ribose sugar.
What is the stoichiometry of the synthesis of (a) ribose 5-phosphate from glucose 6-phosphate without the concomitant generation of NADPH? (b) NADPH from glucose 6- phosphate without the concomitant formation of pentose sugars?
When ATP and xylose are added to hexokinase, the enzyme produces a small amount of xylose-5-phosphate along with a large amount of ADP. How does this observation support the induced fit model?

- We humans do not express an alpha-Galactosidase enzyme and therefore cannot break down stachyose but the bacteria that live in our large intestine can. These bacteria contain an alpha-Galactosidase enzyme that hydrolyzes the galactopyranosyl-alpha (1-6) glycosidic bonds. The bacteria then ferment the products to generate the gas that is famously associated with eating beans. Draw the Haworth projections of the products of alpha-Galactosidase catalyzed reaction.

(The conversion of acetate to acetyl-CoA requires the consumption of 2 ATP.)arrow_forwardCan you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? The pentose phosphate pathway provides a number of critical functions including ["production of ribose-5-phosphate", "production of NADH"] that is vital for ["synthesis of nucleotides and coenzymes", "oxidative phosphorylation"] . This pathway is divided into oxidative and non-oxidative steps. The latter steps ["are involved in the conversion of various sugar phopshates, so called ["carbon shuffle reactions"", "are directly involved in NADPH production"] . If ["NADP+", "NAD+"] levels are high, flux through the pentose phosphate pathway is promoted by allosteric regulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. If reducing equivalents derived form the pentose phosphate pathway are high, glucose-6-phosphate is directed toward ["a phosphatase and then export from the cell", "glycolysis"] .arrow_forward
