Question
Chapter 18, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for why glucose-6-phosphate gets isomerized to fructose-6-phosphate before the cleavage reaction with aldolase during glycolysis has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
- Enzyme is a protein that is a biological catalyst. The reactant in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme is called substrate. In the enzyme, a pocket like cleft is present called active site where it binds the substrate.
- Some amino acid chains in the enzyme act as base, acid and nucleophilic catalyst. Many of the enzymes contain metal ions at the active site which acts as catalyst.
- Acid Catalyst helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the donation of a proton to substrate.
- Base Catalyst helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the removal of a proton to substrate.
- Nucleophilic catalysis helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the formation of a covalent bond with substrate
- Glycolysis: A series of reactions where glucose is converted to two pyruvate molecules in the presence of enzymes catalysis.

Explain the meaning of the term mutarotation
The rate-limiting step is a metabolic pathway is the slowest step which determines the overall rate of the other reactions in the pathway. In glycolysis, the rate limiting step is a phosphorylation reaction where phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) catalyzes the reaction fructose-6-bisphosphate -> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the same step in gluconeogenesis.

- One of the steps in the pentose phosphate pathway for glucose catabolism is the reaction of xylulose 5-phosphate with ribose 5-phosphate in the presence of a transketolase to give glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and sedoheptulose 7-phosphate. (a) The first part of the reaction is nucleophilic addition of thiamin diphosphate (TPP) ylide to xylulose 5-phosphate, followed by a retro-aldol cleavage to give glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and a TPPcontaining enamine. Show the structure of the enamine and the mechanism by which it is formed. (b) The second part of the reaction is addition of the enamine to ribose 5-phosphate followed by loss of TPP ylide to give sedoheptulose 7-phosphate.
