Chapter 27, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ATP equivalents produced on oxidizing one molecule of palmitoyl-CoA to eight molecules of acetyl-CoA, ATP equivalents consumed during transformation of eight molecules of acetyl-CoA into one molecule of palmitoyl-CoA, and whether these metabolic sequences are favorable at ΔG = +50kJ/mol for ATP synthesis should be determined.

Concept introduction:

In most cases, cells use a technique known as reaction coupling, within which an energetically favorable reactions are directly connected with an energetically unfavorable reaction. The linking usually happens through shared intermediate that means that a product of 1 reaction is picked up and used as a reactant within the second reaction.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
