Chapter 18, Problem 1MTE
Summary Introduction

To explain:  The compounds other than oxygen that can serve as electron acceptors in anaerobes.

Concept introduction: The electron transport chain is present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, it is present on the cell membrane itself and in eukaryotes, it is confined to bacteria.

Summary Introduction

To explain:  The fate of the resulting reduced compounds.

Concept introduction: The counterparts of oxygen as electron acceptor in electron transport chain in anaerobes are carbon, sulfur, sulfate, nitrate, ferric ion and fumarate.

Calculate the number of ATP produced from oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose
Example 1: 1. Suppose an enzyme (MW = 5,000 g/mole) has a concentration of 0.05 mg/L. If the kcat is 1 x 10 s, what is the theoretical maximum reaction velocity for the enzyme? A) 1050 µM/s. B) 100 µM/s. C) 150 μM/s. D) 105 μM/s.
In 1956, E. P. Kennedy and S. B. Weiss published their study of membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) synthesis in rat liver. Their hypothesis was that phosphocholine joined with some cellular component to yield lecithin. In an earlier experiment, incubating 32 P-labeled phosphocholine at physiological temperature (37 °C) with broken cells from rat liver yielded labeled lecithin. This became their assay for the enzymes involved in lecithin synthesis. Determine the optimal pH for this enzyme and characterize the enzyme activity at different pH values. -O-P-O-CH2-CH₁₂-N(CH3)3 Phosphocholine H₂C-O-C-R HC-O-C-R2 + + + Cell fraction + ? HC-O-P-O-CH₁₂-CH₂-N(CH), O Phosphatidylcholine The researchers then centrifuged the broken cell preparation to separate the membranes from the soluble proteins. They tested three preparations: whole extract, membranes, and soluble proteins. Table 1 summarizes the results. Table 1: Cell fraction requirement for incorporation of 32p-phosphocholine into…
