Chapter 17, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Difference between the catalytic and stoichiometric coenzymes in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

Concept introduction:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex is required for the linking of glycolysis and TCA. The five enzymes which form the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex are pyruvate dehydrogenase, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, Kinase, dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, and phosphatase. It helps in the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA then enters into the series of the citric acid cycle.

Biochemistry Question. Please help solve. Thank you! Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.
Biochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!
Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.   You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.   After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer.   Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
