Question
Explain the chemical process of the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to an existing carbon chain such as Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase. In your answer be sure to address the following details.
- which carbon is acting as the electrophile and which carbon is acting as the nucelophile
- is this process exergonic or endergonic in relation to the G of this reaction
- which enzyme(s) would be responsible for catalyzing this reaction.

- The Beutler test is used to diagnose GALT (UDP-glucose uridyltransferase) deficiency in infants. Blood from the heel is spotted onto filter paper and the spot is then subjected to an enzyme assay. Galactose 1-phosphate, NADP+ and UDP-glucose are added as substrates to the dried blood. The increase in absorbance at 340nm is measured over time which corresponds to reduction of NADP+ to NADPH . The amount of GALT activity in the blood of patients is therefore measured by stoichiometric relationship to the amount of NADPH produced from NADP+. However, GALT does not directly reduce NADP+ as you can see in the above diagram. Instead, the glucose 1-phosphate product from this reaction is shuttled into the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway by enzymes also present in RBCs. Which three (or possibly more if you must) enzymes downstream of GALT allow for quantitative correlation of a product of GALT with the appearance of NADPH? What is the stoichiometric relationship…arrow_forwardActivity of the light reactions (ETC) can be assayed using an artificial, reducible compound (e- acceptor) added to take the place of the terminal electron acceptor. The artificial e- acceptor used is called DCPIP, a blue dye that turns colorless when it accepts electrons. The reaction is: H2O + DCPIPoxidized (blue) --> O2 + DCPIPreduced (colorless) What molecule from the light reactions of photosynthesis does DCPIP compete with? NADPH H2O ATP ADP NADP+arrow_forwardWHAT MAY HAPPEN IF THE FOLLOWING ENZYMES IS ABSENT? answer briefly. 1. Oxidoreductases 2. Transferases 3. Hydrolases 4. Lyases 5. Isomerases 6.

- Lactic acid is a biproduct formed at the end of anaerobic respiration. This molecule is dangerous to cells of the body if it builds up too much. Despite this, the formation of lactic acid is very important.
