Chapter 26, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

About the carbon atoms in which glucose would be most likely to end up as the 5-CH3 carbon in dTMP.

Concept introduction:

Folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 and one carbon metabolism. The vitamins folacin, B12 and B6 and B2 are the supply of coenzymes that participate in one carbon metabolism. During this metabolism, a carbon unit from aminoalkanoic acid or glycine is transferred to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to create methylene-THF.

Years ago there was interest in using uncouplers such as dinitrophenol as weight control agents. Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomi- tant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a bad (i.e., fatal) idea?
Can the carbons in ketones be metabolized and wind up in a glucose monosaccharide?  If yes, using merely the information presented in class, outline a possible metabolic route for these carbons.  If no, explain why not.
If a liver extract capable of carrying out normal metabolic reactions (including gluconeogenesis) is incubated with labeled pyruvate labeled with oxygen-18 at the carboxylate oxygen atom shown, where would the label be found in glucose?  Explain both in words and illustration.  If any of the positions be partially labeled, indicate that clearly and explain.
