Chapter 26, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG CoA) takes part in the production of cholesterol. Another pathway that involves the HMG CoA should be determined. Also, the factor that influences the pathway should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cholesterol is a type of steroid. Cholesterol production starts with the help of Acetyl CoA (substrate as fatty acid synthesis). The steps for the biosynthesis of cholesterol are the formation of isoprene units, squalene formation and the cyclization of squalene.

G. ENZYME CLASSIFICATION. Identify the main class of enzymes used to catalyzed the following reactions: 1. Lactate dehydrogenase: NADH+H NAD HC-OH CH3 CH Pynnte Lactate 2. Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase: CH CH SCOA CH,CH, SCOA coenzyme B12 COO COO methylmalonyl-CoA succinyl-CoA 3. Enolase: 0. H–Ċ–0–P–0- C-0–P-0- + H,0 HO–CH, CH 6 Phosphoenolpyruvate 2-Phosphoglycerate 4. Chymotrypsin: -0–CH,CH3 + H2O - RCOOH + HOCH,CH3 5. Pyruvate carboxylase: coo • co, • ATP + H,0 H-C-H . ADP + P, + 2H čoo CH, Pyruvate Oxaleacetate
HO. Hexanoic acid is a 6-carbon saturated fatty acid found in goat's milk. Hexanoic acid also contributes to the "barnyard" smell of goats. Fun fact: Hexanoic acid is also known as caproic acid. The name "caproic" is derived from the Latin word "caper", which means goat. What is the balanced equation for complete beta oxidation of hexanoyl-COA to acetyl-CoA shown below (ignore H20 and H+): O Hexanoyl-COA + 3COA + 3FAD + 3NAD+ -------> 3 acetyl-COA + 3 FADH2 +3 NADH O Hexanoyl-CoA + 2COA + 2FAD + 2NAD+ --> 3 acetyl-CoA + 2 FADH2 + 2 NADH O Hexanoyl-CoA + 1COA + 1FAD + 1NAD+ --> 2 acetyl-CoA + 1 FADH2 +1 NADH O Hexanoyl-COA + 6COA + 6FAD + 6NAD+ --------> 6 acetyl-CoA.+ 6 FADH2 + 6 NADH None of the above
Closely related. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and a-ketoglutarate a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex are huge enzymes consisting of three discrete enzymatic activities. Which amino acids require a related enzyme complex, and what is the name of the enzyme?
