- Looking at the structure of alpha linolenic acid, how many rounds of beta oxidation will occur to fully oxidize the fatty acid into acetyl CoA molecules? Please provide explanationsWhen one of the acetyl CoA is processed through the citric acid cycle, how many times does a secondary alcohol group is oxidized to a ketone group?How many more acetyl CoA are generated from stearic acid than from linoleic acid during beta oxidation?
- Looking at the structure of alpha linolenic acid, how many rounds of beta oxidation will occur to fully oxidize the fatty acid into acetyl CoA molecules?What is alpha keto glutarate dehydrogenase complex?. explain very briefly.What structurtal property of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids prevents oxidation of these compounds by the β-oxidation pathway? what additional types of reactions are needed?
- In the complete b-oxidation of stearic acid (18:0) How many moles of acetyl CoA are produced? How many times would the fatty acid pass through the fatty acid spiral for complete oxidation?The products of pyrimidine base catabolism, β-alanine and β-aminoisobutyrate, can be further degraded to acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA, respectively. Can you suggest the types of reaction required to accomplish these transformations?How many acetyl CoA molecules can be produced during the complete β-oxidation of this fatty acid?
- What are the direct products of b oxidation of a fully saturated, straight-chain acyl-CoA of 13 carbons? How many ATP molecules can be obtained from complete oxidation of this compound?How many moles of Acetyl CoA are produced from the beta oxidation of Lauric Acid?Most fatty acids have an even number of carbons and, therefore, are completely metabolized to acetyl-CoA. A fatty acid with an odd number of carbonsis metabolized to acetyl-CoA and one equivalent of propionyl-CoA. The following two reactions convert propionyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA, a citric acidcycle intermediate, so it can be further metabolized. Each of the reactions requires a coenzyme. Identify the coenzyme for each step. From what vitaminsare the coenzymes derived? (Hint: see Chapter 23.) COO− COO−CH2CH2methylmalonyl-CoA succinyl-CoA CH3CH2 SCoA
