Question
Chapter 57, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The product of beta oxidation of the given hydrocarbon.
Introduction:
Beta oxidation is the process of conversion of fatty acids to form the acetyl CoA. In the biological system it is the precursor of tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a cyclic process of four steps.

Show the carbon atom that changes oxidation state during the reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. What is the functional group that changes during the reaction?
Alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of an alcohol to the next highest state of oxidation, an aldehyde. How does this partially explain the toxicity of methanol?
With regard to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme reaction:a) Write the mechanism of the reaction.b) What two enzyme intermediates are involved? One undergoes an oxidation-reduction step.What is oxidized and what is reduced? How are the electrons transferred? The secondintermediate has some different chemistry than usual esters. Comment.c) What factors are operating here to bring about the catalysis that this enzyme carries out?d) The product of this reaction is “rather special”. Comment
