Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect of enzyme mutation on enzyme activity with varying concentrations of carnitine must be determined.

The KM and Vmax values of wild-type and mutant enzymes must be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carnitine palmitoyl transferase I is a mitochondrial enzyme, which forms acyl carnitine by catalyzing the reaction between acyl CoA, and l-carnitine. This allows the transfer of fatty acid chain from cytosol to the mitochondria of the cell. there are three isoforms of CPT I enzyme, CPT1A, CPT1B, and CPT1C.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of enzyme mutation on enzyme activity with varying concentrations of palmitoyl CoA must be determined.

The KM and Vmax values of wild-type and mutant enzymes must be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The enzyme that is more sensitive to malonyl CoA inhibition must be determined.

Concept introductionCarnitine palmitoyl transferase I is a mitochondrial enzyme, which forms acyl carnitine by catalyzing the reaction between acyl CoA, and l-carnitine. This allows the transfer of fatty acid chain from cytosol to the mitochondria of the cell. there are three isoforms of CPT I enzyme, CPT1A, CPT1B, and CPT1C.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Effect of 100 µM palmitoyl CoA, 100 µM carnitine, and malonyl CoA 10µM on mutant enzyme and wild type enzyme must be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Role of glutamate 3 in CPTI function should be determined.

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?
