(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The products obtained when 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-phosphatidylserine is hydrolyzed by phospholipase A1.

Concept introduction: 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-phosphatidylserine is a glycerophospholipid, in which the phosphorylserine moiety occupies the glycerol substitution site. It has a molecular formula of C40 H76 NO10 P. Phospholipases are the enzyme that hydrolyzes the phospholipids into the fatty acids and other lipophilic substances.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
