- Extending the Mechanism of Methylmalonyl-CoA Mutase to Similar Reactions Based on the mechanism for the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (see problem 14), write reasonable mechanisms for the following reactions shown.arrow_forwardPage of 6 ZOOM + name: 3. In the last reaction of the citric acid cycle, malate is dehydrogenated to regenerate the oxaloacetate necessary for the entry of acetyl-CoA into the cycle: L-Malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H* AG'° = 30.0 kJ/mol (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 °C. (b) Because AG°' assumes a standard pH of 7, the equilibrium constant calculated in (a) corresponds to [oxaloacetate][NADH] Keq [L-malate][NAD*] The measured concentration of L-malate in rat liver mitochondria is about 0.20 mM when [NAD*]/[NADH] is 10. Calculate the concentration of oxaloacetate at pH 7 in these mitochondria. (c) To appreciate the magnitude of the mitochondrial oxaloacetate concentration, calculate the number of oxaloacetate molecules in a single rat liver mitochondrion. Assume the mitochondrion is a sphere of diameter 2.0 microns.arrow_forwardATP Accounting Upon digestion of starch, maltose, one of its degradation products, is further hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components prior to intestinal absorption and entry into the glycolysis. Calculate the number of ATP molecules produced from the digestion and complete oxidation of 1 molecule of maltose considering the malate-asparate shuttle. Answer the following items using numerical value only (e.g. 1, not "1 ATP") which will help you arrive at the final answer for this question. a. Total number of glucose molecules entering glycolysis: b. Total number of pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis: c. Total number of mitochondrial NADH produced after pyruvate is acted upon by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: d.

The inhibitor constants for three inhibitors of por- cine citrate synthase are summarized in the table on the right. The compounds were all determined to bind in the active site as competitive inhibitors of acetyl-CoA. Because they bind as competitive inhibitors, all three inhibitors must exhibit structural similarity to some part of acetyl-CoA. Look up in the textbook the structural formu- las for Coenzyme A, ATP, and NADH. What is the largest structural fragment of each inhibitor that is responsible for competitive inhibition? Draw the molecular fragment common to each inhibitor that competes with the binding of acetyl-CoA in the active site of citrate synthase. Bromoacetyl-CoA ATP NADH K₁ (μM) 25.7 6800 8300 B While the inhibitor constants listed in part (b) above were determined in vitro for purified citrate synthase, does their inhibitory action have any relevance to the flux of metabolites through the TCA cycle in vivo?
