Chapter 23, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reasonable mechanism for the methylmalonyl CoA mutase reaction should be written.

Concept Introduction:

Humans and animals can metabolize fatty acids with odd number of carbons via the ß oxidation pathway. The final product of this pathway is 3-C propionyl CoA instead of acetyl CoA. Then three enzymes catalyze the conversion of propionyl CoA into succinyl CoA.

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?
