Chapter 25, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason for the beneficial effects of ADP to ATP and AMP should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The purine nucleotide cycle is a metabolic process, in which aspartate and IMP are converted into ammonia and fumarate to regulate the levels of adenine nucleotides. This cycle is comprised of three biochemical reactions, deamination of AMP to IMP, the formation of adenylosuccinate from IMP, and conversion of adenylosuccinate to AMP and fumarate.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The equilibrium constant for adenylate kinase is 1. The reason for this is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The purine nucleotide cycle is a metabolic process, in which aspartate and IMP are converted into ammonia and fumarate to regulate the levels of adenine nucleotides. This cycle is comprised of three biochemical reactions, deamination of AMP to IMP, the formation of adenylosuccinate from IMP, and conversion of adenylosuccinate to AMP and fumarate.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason for the facilitation of ATP synthesis due to AMP deamination, should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The purine nucleotide cycle is a metabolic process, in which aspartate and IMP are converted into ammonia and fumarate to regulate the levels of adenine nucleotides. This cycle is comprised of three biochemical reactions, deamination of AMP to IMP, the formation of adenylosuccinate from IMP, and conversion of adenylosuccinate to AMP and fumarate.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The way by which ATP is synthesized aerobically due to the purine nucleotide cycle, is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The purine nucleotide cycle is a metabolic process, in which aspartate and IMP are converted into ammonia and fumarate to regulate the levels of adenine nucleotides. This cycle is comprised of three biochemical reactions, deamination of AMP to IMP, the formation of adenylosuccinate from IMP, and conversion of adenylosuccinate to AMP and fumarate.

Pyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvatedehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2. Provide a full mechanismfor this reaction utilizing the TPP cofactor. Include the roles of all cofactors.
B- Vitamins are converted readily into important metabolic cofactors. Deficiency inany one of them has serious side effects. a. The disease beriberi results from a vitamin B 1 (Thiamine) deficiency and ischaracterized by cardiac and neurological symptoms. One key diagnostic forthis disease is an increased level of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in thebloodstream. How does this vitamin deficiency lead to increased serumlevels of these factors? b. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 5 deficiency? c. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 2 /B 3 deficiency?
