Question
Chapter 27, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
About the regulation of the flux through
Concept introduction:
Flux, or metabolic flux is that the rate of turnover of molecules through a metabolic pathway. Flux is regulated by the enzymes concerned in an exceedingly pathway. at intervals cells, regulation of flux is significant for all metabolic pathways to manage the pathway's activity below completely different conditions.

- generation of one less FADH2 molecule. Part C B-oxidation dealls with only saturated fatty acids, but many fatty acids in natural lipids are unsaturated, meaning they contain one or more double bonds. Considering the fatty acid below, calculate the energy yield of its complete oxidation. OH Express your answer using three significant figures. ▸ View Available Hint(s) ΑΣΦ + 0 ?

During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?arrow_forwardEffects of Changing Metabolite Concentrations on Glycolysis In an erythrocyte undergoing glycolysis what would be the effect of a sudden increase in the concentration of a.

- Complete oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid can yield 129 molecules of ATP Study Figure 19.2 and determine how many ATP molecules would be generated if a 16-carbon fatly acid were metabolized solely by the TCA cycle, in the form of S acetyl-CoA molecules.arrow_forwardDistinguishing the Mechanisms of Class I and Class I Aldolases Fructose bisphosphate aldolase in animal muscle is a class 1 aldolase, which forms a Schiff base intermediate between substrate (for example. fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and a lysine at the active site (see Figure I8.12). The chemical evidence for this intermediate conies from studies with aldolase and the reducing agent sodium borohydride, NaBH4. Incubation of the enzyme with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NaBH4 inactivates the enzyme. Interestingly, no inactivation is observed if NabH4 is added to the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Write a mechanism that explains these observations and provides evidence for the formation of a Schiff base intermediate in the aldolase reaction.arrow_forwardUnderstanding the Mechanism of Hemolytic Anemia Genetic defects in glycolytic enzymes can have serious consequences for humans For example, defects in the gene for pyruvate kinase can result in a condition known as hemolytic anemia.

- not true about the Michaelis-Menten equation? The equation that gives the rate, v, of an the substrate concentration [S] is the Michaelis-Menten equation = Vmax[S]/(Km + [S]), where V, enzyme-catalyzed reaction for all values of max and Km are constants. Which of the following is a) for [S] << Km, V = Vmax applies to most enzymes, but allosteric enzymes have different kinetics when [S] = Km, then v = Vmax/2 gives the rate when the enzyme concentration, temperature, pH, and ionic strength are constant for very high values of [S], v approaches Vmax e) Which is correct about the constant Km in the Michaelis-Menten equation? also called the catalytic constant or turnover number equal to the number of product molecules produced per unit time when the enzyme is saturated with substrate it is the constant in the first order rate equation v = k[A] it is the constant in the second order rate equation v = equal to the substrate concentration at which the velocity or rate of a reaction is ½ the…arrow_forwardConsidering the complete oxidation of an 18-C fatty acid.
