Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The role of acetyl-CoA in the reactions of Ketogenesis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketogenesis is a process by which acetyl CoA is converted into
Ketone bodies are
Acetoacetate, acetone and
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl-CoA molecules which are used in the production of ketone bodies should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketogenesis is a process by which acetyl CoA is converted into ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies are metabolic products that are produced in excess during excessive breakdown of fatty acids. They are water soluble and energy yielding. In a normal man, concentration of ketone bodies in the blood is usually less than
Acetoacetate, acetone and
(c)
Interpretation:
The essential role of ketone bodies during prolonged starvation should be determined.

Gluconeogenesis is the process of formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The process occurs only in liver and kidney, partially occurs in cytoplasm and in mitochondria

- Specific rotation is a measure of a solution's capacity to rotate circularly polarized light. The unfolding of the a helix of a polypeptide to a random conformation is accompanied by a large decrease in specific rotation. Polyglutamate, a polypeptide made up of only 1-Glu residues, has the a helix conformation at pH 3. When researchers raise the pH to 7, there is a large decrease in the specific rotation of the solution. Similarly, polylysine (1.-Lys residues) is an a helix at pH 10, but when researchers lower the pH to 7 the specific rotation also decreases, as shown in the graph. a Helix Specific rotation Poly(Glu) a Helix Random conformation Poly(Lys) Random conformation T + ° 2 4 6 В 10 12 14 PH Complete the statements about the molecular mechanism for these changes in specific rotation. Increasing the pH of a polyglutamate solution from 6 to 7 causes the carboxyl group of each glutamate residue Comed Artwer lose a proton.

- A protein has a molecular mass of 400 kDa when measured by size-exclusion chromatography. When subjected to gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the protein gives three bands with molecular masses of 180, 160, and 60 kDa. When electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and dithiothreitol (DTT), three bands again form, this time with molecular masses of 160, 90, and 60 kDa. How many subunits does the protein have, and what is the molecular mass of each? four subunits: 180, 160, 90, and 60 kDa three subunits: 180, 160, and 60 kDa three subunits: 160, 90, and 60 kDa four subunits: 160, 90, 90, and 60 kDa Correct Answerarrow_forwardCalculate KM and Vmax from the following data: KM= i Vmax [S] (μM) vo (mM.s-¹) 0.1 0.34 0.2 0.53 0.4 0.74 0.8 0.91 1.6 1.04 μM mM s-1arrow_forwardPropose a detailed chemical mechanism for the enzyme catalyzed reaction below and briefly note similarities, if any, to enzymes that we've studied.
