(a)
To predict: Effect of inhibitor of malate and α-ketoglutarate (n-butylmalonate) on a glycolysis.
Introduction:
Malate-aspartate shuttle is also known as malate-α-ketoglutarate transport system. This transport system is important because the inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
(b)
To predict: Effect of inhibitor of malate and α-ketoglutarate transport system (n-butylmalonate) on a oxygen consumption.
Introduction:
The electrons and protons from NADH are transferred to oxaloacetate which forms malate and NAD+. The transporter transport malate across the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it forms oxaloacetate and regenerate NADH.
(c)
To predict: Effect of inhibitor of malate and α-ketoglutarate transport system (n-butylmalonate) on lactate formation.
Introduction:
n-butylmalonate is a chemical compound which inhibits malate and α-ketoglutarate transport system. As a consequence of the blockage of transport system, the transfer of protons and electrons of NADH gets blocked.
(d)
To predict: Effect of inhibitor of malate and α-ketoglutarate transport system (n-butylmalonate) on ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis.
Introduction:
The cells obtain energy in form of ATP by metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, lipids, and proteins. Majorly cells metabolize carbohydrates. Cells are able to carry out aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

- The following data were recorded for the enzyme catalyzed conversion of S -> P Question: what would the rate be at 5.0 x 10-5 M [S] and the enzyme concentration was doubled? Also, the rate given in the table is from product accumulation after 10 minuets of reaction time. Verify these rates represent a true initial rate (less than 5% turnover). Please helparrow_forwardThe following data was obtained on isocitrate lyase from an algal species. Identify the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme, deduce the KM and Vmax , and determine the nature of the inhibition by oxaloacetate. Please helparrow_forwardIn the table below, there are sketches of four crystals made of positively-charged cations and negatively-charged anions. Rank these crystals in decreasing order of stability (or equivalently increasing order of energy). That is, select "1" below the most stable (lowest energy) crystal. Select "2" below the next most stable (next lowest energy) crystal, and so forth. A B 鹽 (Choose one) +2 C +2 +2 (Choose one) D 鹽雞 (Choose one) (Choose one)arrow_forward
