Chapter 25, Problem 46P
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.

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?
