Concept explainers
(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.
(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.

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.
(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.
(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.
Concept introduction:

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.
(e)
Interpretation:
Role of glutamate 3 in CPTI function should be determined.

This process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon.
