Calculation about delta standard G, delta H, detla S. Question attached as photo below. And my answer attempted. Need my answer verified and corrected if neccesary. Please let me know where I got wrong and what key ideas I had miss. Thanks.
Clearly explain the location, the metabolic role and the way in which its function is regulated (if applicable) the following molecules: lipoprotein lipase (LPL), Lecithin cholesterol Acyl transferase (LCAT), hepatic lipase/ liver lipase(LH), microsomal trigliceride transfer protein (MTP), cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP).
There are mulitple options. The second option alone is incorrect.

- Distinguishing the Mechanisms of Class I and Class I Aldolases Fructose bisphosphate aldolase in animal muscle is a class 1 aldolase, which forms a Schiff base intermediate between substrate (for example. fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and a lysine at the active site (see Figure I8.12). The chemical evidence for this intermediate conies from studies with aldolase and the reducing agent sodium borohydride, NaBH4. Incubation of the enzyme with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NaBH4 inactivates the enzyme. Interestingly, no inactivation is observed if NabH4 is added to the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Write a mechanism that explains these observations and provides evidence for the formation of a Schiff base intermediate in the aldolase reaction.arrow_forwardModeling the Regulation of AcetyI-CoA Carboxylase Based on the information presented in the text and in Figures 24.4 and 24.5, suggest a model for the regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
