1. The Fehling’s reaction, which is a simple assay for reducing sugars, was used as a diagnostic test for the determination of blood glucose concentrations for a very long time. However, it has now been replaced by the glucose oxidase test. The enzyme glucose oxidase isolated from the mold Penicillium notatum catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone. This enzyme is highly specific for the β-anomer of glucose and does not affect the α-anomer. In spite of this specificity, the reaction catalyzed by glucose oxidase is commonly used in a clinical assay for total blood glucose—that is, for solutions consisting of a mixture of β- and α-D-glucose. Explain how this is possible. Aside from allowing the detection of smaller quantities of glucose, what advantage does glucose oxidase offer over Fehling’s reagent for the determination of blood glucose? 2. Consider only the oxygen levels present in the cytoplasm and ECF as shown in the drawing above (no new oxygen is entering…
9. The transamination of the amino acid aspartate is catalyzed by aspartate aminotransferase. A) Draw out the mechanism for aspartate aminotransferase - you don’t need to show the subsequent formation of glutamate by the transaminase. B) After transamination, write out the subsequent steps (no mechanisms) to generate a molecule of glucose from two aspartates. How many ATP equivalents would this consume? C) After the transamination, write out the subsequent steps (no mechanisms) to fully oxidize aspartate into CO2 through malate (see above). How many ATP equivalents would this produce?
Saccharide X occurs in the roots of several species of plants. Deduce the structure of saccharide x from the following data: 1. acidic hydrolysis of 1 mol of stachyose yields 2 mol of D-galactose, 1 mol of D-glucose, and 1 mol of D-fructose. 2. Stachyose is a nonreducing sugar. 3. Treating stachyose with an alpha-galactosidase produces a mixture containing D-galactose, sucrose, and a nonreducing trisaccharide called raffinose. 4. Acidic hydrolysis of raffinose gives D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-galactose. Treating raffinose with an alpha-galactosidase yields D-galactose and sucrose. Treating raffinose with invertase (an enzyme that hydrolyzed sucrose) yields fructose and melibiose. 5. Methylation of saccharide x followed by hydrolysis yields 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose, and 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-fructose.
