Question
Chapter 25, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
To write:
About the vitamins B6, B12 and folate recommendation to individuals with high blood serum levels of homocysteine.
Introduction:
Homocysteine could be a non-protein that derives from S-adenosine. SAM is extremely necessary therein it provides a methyl radical for methyltransferases.

Define beta-oxidation of fatty acids? Describe in detail three different steps of beta-oxidation of FAs.
Years ago there was interest in using uncouplers such as dinitrophenol asweight control agents. Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomitant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a bad (i.e., fatal) idea?
Briefly explain the malate-aspartate shuttle. Distinguish between this shuttle with the glycerol
-phosphate shuttle based upon their transport of reducing equivalents and their potential for
ATP synthesis.

- True False Glucose oxidase can be used in determining glucose in the blood and urine Regardless of the distance between the enzyme and substrate, they will bind. Lipase is an enzyme primarily produced by the pancreas that breakdown peptide bonds between the oxygen molecules of glycerol and the hydroxyl molecules of fatty acids. Coenzymes are organic substances, while cofactors are inorganic. L-Amino-acid oxidase will catalyze reactions of D (-) - glycine. Redox reaction via oxidoreductase is still possible with one reactant only. The apoenzyme is the protein part of the enzyme, which is enzymatically inactive without cofactors. Lack of enzymes will lead to block in metabolic pathways causing inborn errors of metabolism Ligases are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of chemical bonds.
