Chapter 21, Problem 4P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The [2-H2] acetyl-CoA and an excess of unlabeled malonyl-CoA are added as substrate, the number of deuterium atoms which are incorporated into every molecule of palmitate, and their location.

Introduction:

Fatty acid synthesis is the common pathway which uses acetyl-CoA as substrate for fatty acid synthesis. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Fatty acid synthases help in fatty acids synthesis from acetyl-CoA and NADPH.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The unlabeled acetyl-CoA and [2-2H] acetyl-CoA are added as substrates, the number of deuterium atoms are incorporated into every molecule of palmitate and their location is to be explained.

Introduction:

Fatty acid synthesis is the common pathway which use acetyl-CoA as substrate for fatty acid synthesis. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Acetyl-CoA and NADPH produces fatty acids in the presence of enzyme fatty acid synthases.

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?)
