Chapter 16, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Concentration of glucose when vο is equal to 90% of Vmax.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of one molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules are yielded in this reaction. Moreover, its is divided into two phases, preparatory phase and payoff phase. In the preparatory phase, 2 ATP molecules are used, and in payoff phase, 4 ATP molecules are yielded.

In case the cell is in a state requiring large amount of ATP to support energy-requiring reactions/pathways, assuming that you have 1 mole of each of the said lipids are catabolized and complete oxidized, will the total net ATP yield from these two lipids be higher or lower than the sum of the net ATPs generated from each fatty acid components? Justify your answer in biochemical terms and using 5 sentences or less.
in human 2. Human xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. For the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. several medications are used to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase and reduce the production of uric acid. You are a biochemist and just discovered a chemical that can inhibit the activity of the human xanthine oxidase. When analyzing its mode of inhibition, you found that the enzyme inhibitor complex requires 450 kJ.mol to dissociate and that it displays kinetics somehow similar to noncompetitive inhibition. You sent your inhibitor to the ministry of health for approval as a medication for gout. Based on the data provided, are they going to authorize it as a medication or not? Explain?

The chemical evidence for this intermediate conies from studies with aldolase and the reducing agent sodium borohydride, NaBH4. Incubation of the enzyme with dihydroxyacetone phosphate and NaBH4 inactivates the enzyme. Interestingly, no inactivation is observed if NabH4 is added to the enzyme in the absence of substrate.

- It has been shown recently that the African naked GLUT5-.O Fructose (b) mole-rat can withstand up to 18 min of complete anoxia (ab- sence of O2) in the presence of high levels of CO2 without ap- parent brain damage. The basis of its capacity to tolerate such unusual conditions is that the brain, heart, and liver in the mole- rat switch to fructose-driven glycolysis. In contrast to normal mice, these tissues in the naked mole-rat have high levels of GLUT5 specific for cellular uptake of fructose. The available pathways for breakdown of fruct ose for metabolic energy production are shown on the right. KHK stands for ketohexosekinase, an enzyme that is markedly upregulated in the mole-rat compared to normal mice. Conse- quently mice must metabolize fructose largely via hexokinase (HK).
