Chapter 16, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Distribution of 14C in the pyruvate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is also termed as Embden-Meyerhof pathway. It involves the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. During this reaction, two molecules of ATP are used up in the preparatory phase. Further, in the payoff phase, two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH are produced.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Specific activity of pyruvate formation should be determined.

1. pH Effects a. In the enzyme mechanism of lysozyme, two acidic amino acid residues, Asp52 and Glu35, are critical for catalytic activity. If we assume normal side chain pKa values for Asp (pKar = 3.90) and for Glu (pKar = 4.07), what proportion of enzyme molecules will have both Asp52 and Glu35 in the correct ionization state at pH 5.0 (the pH optimum for lysozyme)? b. Are the traditional pKa values likely to be correct within the protein? What pKa changes might be present within lysozyme?
27. Working at cross-purposes . Write a balanced equation showing the effect of simultaneous activation of glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase. Include the reactions catalyzed by phosphoglucomutase and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.
