Question
Chapter 17, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of a mutation that increases the kinase activity which is linked with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Concept introduction:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex is required for the linking of glycolysis and TCA. It helps in the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA then enters into the series of the citric acid cycle.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect of a mutation that reduces the phosphatase activity which is linked with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Concept introduction:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex is required for the linking of glycolysis and TCA. It converts the pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA then enters into the series of the citric acid cycle.

- 2A. Red blood cells synthesize and degrade 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) by a detour of the glycolytic pathway, as shown below: glyeeraldehyde 3-phosphate GAP dehydrogenase 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate bisphosphoglycerate mutase ADP phosphoglycerate kinase 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate ATP 3-phosphoglycerate 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase phosphoglycerate mutase 2-phosphoglycerate (i) The bisphosphoglycerate mutase/2,3-bisphosphoglcerate phosphatase reaction is catalyzed by a single enzyme, BPGM. At alkaline pH, BPGM favors the mutase activity while at lower pH, BPGM favors the phosphatase reaction. Use this information, along with the Bohr effect, to explain in the space below how red blood cells respond to a metabolic defect where a patient experiences chronic, elevated levels of lactic acid.
