Chapter 2, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

There are number of proteins with hydrophilic exteriors as well as hydrophobic interiors. Whether due to this structure of protein it is embedded in the membrane’s hydrophobic interior or not needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amino as well as carboxylic acid groups. These groups are common in all amino acids, the difference in all amino acids is different R groups. The general representation of an amino acid is as follows:

H2NCH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids. This group can be acidic, basic or neutral.

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?
