Chapter 22, Problem 51P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three reactions which allow the conversion of cytoplasmic NADH into NADPH should be determined along with the enzymes needed for the reactions. The sum of the three reactions should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The most important difference between NADPH and NADH is that, NADPH is used during photosynthesis, and NADH is used during respiration. NADH plays an important role during oxidative phosphorylation, it acts as an electron donor in this process, and helps in the synthesis of ATP. One NADH molecule produces 2.5 ATP molecules.

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?
