Interpretation:
The equilibrium concentrations of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, dihydroxyacetone (DHAP), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) under given conditions should be determined.
Concept introduction:
By the action of aldolase enzyme, fructose-1,6-bisphopshate is converted into DHAP and G3P. Aldolase uses zinc ion as its cofactor. This is the fourth step in the glycolysis process, and the last step of the preparatory phase.
Answer to Problem 30P
Equilibrium concentration of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate =
Equilibrium concentration of DHAP =
Equilibrium concentration of G3P =
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
1 mM (0.001M) of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is incubated with aldolase under standard conditions.
The reaction is:
Creating the ICE table as:
Calculation of equilibrium constant,
Now,
Solving for x,
So, equilibrium concentrations of DHAP and G3P =
Equilibrium concentration of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate =
Equilibrium concentration of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate =
Equilibrium concentration of DHAP =
Equilibrium concentration of G3P =

OH co co2 но H co, 1-isopropylmalate 2-isopropylmalate Biosynthesis of leucine involves conversion of 1-isopropyimalate to 2-isopropylmalate (see above). This proceeds in four steps under basic enzymic catalysis via an isolable compound produced in step 2. Write a detailed mechanism for this conversion. Then, draw the intermediate compound) produced in step 2. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Draw uninvolved carboxyl groups in the anionic state, and enolates as carbanions.
