Chapter 22, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The site of process of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The acyl carrier of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reductants and oxidants of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is, two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The stereochemistry of intermediates of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is, two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The direction of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is, two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The organization of the enzyme system of fatty acid synthesis and degradation must be compared.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, that is, two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids degrades the fatty acids. The process of fatty acid synthesis is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units.

You’ve isolated a protein and determined that the Native molecular weight of the holoenzyme is 160 kD using size exclusion chromatography. Analysis of this protein using SDS-PAGE revealed 2 bands, one at 100 kD and one at 30 kD.  The enzyme was found to be 0.829% NAD (by weight). What further can be said regarding the structure of the polypeptide?
