Question
Chapter 25, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of ATP equivalents consumed in the biosynthesis of lysine from aspartate should be stermined.
Concept Introduction:
The aspartate family of amino acids contains the essential amino acid, methionine, an essential amino acid. In 2 steps the synthesis of lysins is begun. The first one is phosphorylation at the value of adenosine triphosphate and also the next is that the reduction uses electrons from NADPH.

- Glutamine affects the regulatory system for E. coli glutamine synthetase so as to promote the adenylylation of glutamine synthetase and inhibit the deadenylylation. Why do these effects make good metabolic sense?arrow_forwardPhosphonacetyl-L-aspartate (PALA) is a potent inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamoylase because itmimics the two physiological substrates of the enzyme. However, in the presence of substrates, lowconcentrations of PALA increase the reaction rate of aspartate transcarbamoylase. Explain this result.arrow_forwardThe Energy Cost of dTTP Synthesis (Integrates with Chapter 20.) Starting from HCO3, glutamine, aspartate, and ribosc-5-P, how many ATP equivalents are consumed in the synthesis of dTTP in a eukaryotic cell, assuming dihydroorotate oxidation is coupled to oxidative phosphorylation?

Why is this necessary, from a biochemical perspective? Both of the phosphate groups from UTP are needed to form UDP-glucose. There is no particular reason: wasteful reactions just happen sometimes. The pyrophosphate (after hydrolysis) is required to free up more phosphate for the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. The subsequent hydrolysis of pyrophosphate is a highly exergonic reaction, which pulls the equilibrium over towards UDP-glucose. Pyrophosphate is an allosteric activator of glycogen synthase, so this helps glycogen synthesis to proceed at a faster rate.arrow_forwardThe reaction mechanism of alpha-amylase going through a Nelson Somagyi Assay.
