Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction catalyzed by aspartate transaminase should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The enzyme found throughout the body but mostly in the heart and liver and to a less extent found in kidneys and muscles is aspirate transaminase or AST. In a healthy individual, AST level in blood is low. If liver and kidney cells are damaged or injured, the release of AST into the blood occurs. As a result, AST is a useful test for detecting or monitoring liver damage.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An enzyme that catalyzes glycolysis (sixth step) is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase also known as GAPDH and it breaks glucose for energy and carbon molecules.

- Quantum mechanics. Explain the basis of approximating the summation to an integral in translational motion.arrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kTarrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forward
