Each item should be matched with its description.

Concept introduction:

Phosphorolysis is analogous to hydrolysis.

Concept introduction:

Transferases are enzymes that catalyzes the transfer of certain functional groups form one molecule to another.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Each item should be matched with its description.

Concept introduction:

a-1,6-glucosidase is a glycogen debranching enzyme which involves in glycogen catabolism.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Each item should be matched with its description.

Concept introduction:

The free glucose molecule released from the cleavage of glucosyl residue from glycogen after glycogen phosphorylase activity, has a phosphate group on C-1. This glucose-1-phosphate is not a useful metabolite. So it should be converted to glucose-6-phosphate.

Interpretation:

Each item should be matched with its description.

Concept introduction:

Phosphorylase kinase is a serine/threonine specific protein kinase.

Interpretation Introduction

(g)

Interpretation:

Each item should be matched with its description.

Concept introduction:

Protein kinase A perform several functions like regulation of glycogen, sugar and lipid metabolism. This enzyme activity depends on cyclic-AMP.

Interpretation Introduction

(h)

Interpretation:

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?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
