Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Glutamate dehydrogenase
requires which of the following cofactors:
a. NAD+/NADP+NAD*/NADP+
b. Pyridoxal phosphate
c. Thiamine pyrophosphate
d. Biopterin
Please help with this practice question. I am not sure what the answer is. I believe it would be NAD+ and NADH production, but I am not sure.
Fill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.

- Need help, please. In this scenario, a patient has beriberi. Beriberi patients can be treated through a thiamine-enriched diet. The patient was put on a thiamine-enriched diet but not all of their symptoms were alleviated. Through genetic testing, it was found that there was also a small defect in pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase that decreases its normal activity. 1. Explain why this genetic defect can cause beriberi symptoms (i.e. high pyruvate levels after a high-carb meal). 2. Why did thiamine supplementation not alleviate the symptoms for this patient?arrow_forwardRequired partner. Aminotransferases require which of the following cofactors: a. NAD+/NADP+NAD+/NADP+ b.
