(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of the given step in the fatty acid oxidation of hexanoic acid should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. They have a general formula R(CH2)nCOOH, n is mostly an even number of carbon atoms (4 to 20) with a few exceptions that have an odd number

Fatty acids in the body are mostly oxidized by β oxidation.

β-oxidation is the oxidation and splitting of two carbon units at β- carbon atom. This results in sequential removal of 2 carbon fragments as acetyl CoA until the complete oxidation of fatty acids.

The four important steps of β-oxidation are,

Step 1: Dehydrogenation of the fatty acyl-CoA to make ‘trans’ double bond between α and β carbon.

  • Short, medium and long chain acyl-CoAdehydrogenases
  • Electron removed transferred to FAD

Step 2: Hydration of the double bond.

Step 3: Dehydrogenation of the β-hydroxyl group to a ketone.

  • Electron removed transferred to NAD+

Step 4: Acylation-addition of CoA and production of and production of acetyl-CoA

Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
