Question
Chapter 23, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why nature uses FAD/FADH2 as a cofactor in the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction rather than NAD+/NADH should be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
The enzymes involving in ß oxidation can be subdivided as membrane bound and soluble enzymes in matrix. As fatty acid chain getting short in successive cycles of ß oxidation, fatty acid chain moves from membrane bound complex to matrix. The first step of ß oxidation is oxidation of the bond between a and ß carbon of fatty acid. This reaction is catalyzed by one of four acyl CoA dehydrogenases. They are very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase and dehydrogenases specific for long chain, medium chain and short chain. Acyl CoA dehydrogenases non-covalently binds FAD which is reduced to FADH2 during ß oxidation.

In beta oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria, ubiquinone (via FAD
/ FADH2) from the respiratory chain acts as an oxidizing agent in one
oxidation step and NAD + as an oxidizing agent in the other oxidation
step. Discuss the exchange of ATP per oxygen molecule consumed in
the breakdown of fatty acids into acetyl-COAI in relation to the
exchange of ATP perroxygen molecule consumed if only NADH is the
electron source for the respiratory chain.
Consider a 24:1 △cis-9 fatty acid in the mitochondrion. For each fatty acid given, determine the following.
1. Gross ATP from b-oxidation cycles
2. Gross ATP from acetyl CoA produced
3. Gross ATP from conversion of propionyl CoA (if applicable)
4. Total number of ATP deducted
5. Total net ATP
Consider the mechanism of the aldolase reaction given in figure 9.25. In chapter 12, we saw that the same enzyme was used to catalyze the reverse reaction, DHAP + glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatefructose-1,6-bisphosphate, in the first step of stage 3 in the Calvin Cycle. Using arrows and structures similar to what is shown in 9.25, propose a mechanism for this reverse reaction (which is an aldol condensation
