Chapter 18, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

To calculate:

The ratio of [dihydroxyacetone-P]/[glyceralderhyde-3-P] in the erythrocyte from ΔG .

Introduction:

Glycolysis is a series of chemical reaction in the body which synthesizes energy in the form of ATP by breaking down Glucose molecules. Glycolysis is an extramitochondrial chemical reaction and takes place in the cytoplasm to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Triose Phosphate Isomerase help in the catalysis of conversion of dihydroxyacetone-Phosphate to Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate. The ΔG°' i.e. standard free energy change value for this reaction is +7.6kJ/mol. And the ΔG value i.e. observed free energy change for this reaction in erythrocytes is +2.4kJ/mol.

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?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
