Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Answer to Problem 18.73UTC

Solution:

a. Five (5) cycles of ß-oxidation are needed for the complete oxidation of lauric acid.

b. Six (6) acetyl CoA are produced from the complete oxidation of lauric acid.

c. 78 ATP yields from the complete oxidation of lauric acid.

Explanation of Solution

Lauric Acid is a C12 fatty acid and for the activation of lauric acid 2 ATP are required.

The acetyl group of the acetyl CoA is formed by two carbons. And in the last round two acetyl CoA are produced. Accordingly, the number of cycles of ß-oxidation and the number of acetyl CoA produced has been calculated.

From the complete ß-oxidation of lauric acid, total six (6) acetyl CoA, 5 NADH and 6 FADH2 has been produced. Each Acetyl CoA yields 10 ATP, each NADH yields 2.5 ATP and each FADH2 yields 1.5 ATP. Accordingly, ATP yield has been calculated.

Formula used: Number of cycles of ß-oxidation needed for the complete oxidation of fatty acid = n2-1

Where n = Number of carbon atoms present in fatty acid.

Number of acetyl CoA produced from the complete oxidation of fatty acid = n2

Where n = Number of carbon atoms present in fatty acid.

Calculation: Here, number of carbon atoms in the given fatty acid = 12. So, by putting n = 12

Number of cycles of ß-oxidation needed for the complete oxidation of fatty acid = 122-1 = 5

Therefore, number of acetyl CoA produced from the complete oxidation of fatty acid =
  122 = 6

      6×10ATP/Acetyl CoA    		60ATP

    FADH2

      5×1.5ATP/ FADH2    		7.5 ATP
    Total

    		78 ATP

Conclusions:

a. Thus, for complete oxidation of lauric acid five (5) cycles of ß-oxidation are needed.

b. Thus, from complete oxidation of lauric acid six (6) acetyl CoA are produced.

c. Thus, from the complete oxidation of lauric acid, 78 ATP is formed.

Shown below is the mechanism presented for the formation of biasplatin in reference 1 from the Background and Experiment document. The amounts used of each reactant are shown.  Either draw or describe a better alternative to this mechanism. (Note that the first step represents two steps combined and the proton loss is not even shown; fixing these is not the desired improvement.)  (Hints: The first step is correct, the second step is not; and the amount of the anhydride is in large excess to serve a purpose.)
