Chapter 4, Problem 14P
Answers to all problems are at the end of this book. Detailed solutions are available in the Student Solutions Manual, Study Guide, and Problems Book.
A Rule of Thumb for Amino Acid Content in Proteins The simple average molecular weight of the 20 common amino adds is 138, but most biochemists use 110 when estimating the number of amino acids in a protein of known molecular weight. Why do you Suppose this is?
(Hint: There are two contributing factors to the answer. One of them will be apparent from a brief consideration of the amino acid compositions of common proteins. See, for example, Figure 5.16 of this text.)

Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.
You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under
aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.
After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be
labeled with C14? Explain your answer.
Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
