A transamination can be summarized as an amino group (-NH3) of an amino acid and the keto group (C-0) of an a-keto acid changing places and forming different amino acid and a-keto acid products, as in the generic reaction below: amino acid 1 + a-keto acid 1 a-keto acid 2 + amino acid 2 Draw the a-keto acid product of the transamination of an a-keto acid with an amino acid that has the side chain X RC-COO H3N-CH-C-O Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds), Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default. Show formal charges on all atoms. > View Available Hint(s)

In one of the steps in this pathway fructose 1,6-biphosphate (F1,6BP) is converted to gylceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-p) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme aldolase. For this reaction at 25 celcuius and Ph7 we have: Keq= 10-4M and Delta G = +5456 cal/mol Calculate the following: The concentration of F1, 6BP, DHAP and G-3-P at equilibrium when the initial F1,6BP is (A) 1M, (b) 10-2 M, (c) 2 X 10*4 M and (d) 10-5 M. I been trying to solve this problem but I dont even know where to begin with. Atleast help me with problem A, I would be able to guide myself through.
Repeated laboratory results over the past three weeks suggest that your patient suffers from acidemia. In the most recent visit, blood tests yielded the following results (normal values in parenthesis): pH = 7.34 (7.4) pCO2 = 60 mm Hg (40 mm Hg) [HCO3-] = 31 mM (24 mM) The problem is most likely due to: A) high glucose level in blood B) vomiting and nasogastric suction C) chronic respiratory center depression and central hypoventilation D) diabetic ketoacidosis E) none of the above

Alanine aminotransferase catalyzes the transamination of alanine and -ketoglutarate to pyruvate and glutamate, while aspartate transaminase converts aspartate and -ketoglutarate to oxaloacetate and glutamate. If you have a 50.0-mL reaction volume containing 0.100 M alanine, -ketoglutarate, glutamate, and oxaloacetate, what will the equilibrium concentration of aspartate be? Assume an equilibrium constant of 1.0 for both enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Remember to show your work.

Consider the hydrolysis reactions of creatine phosphate and adenosine-5-monophosphate. Creatine Phosphate + H2O Creatine + HPi rG = 43.3 KJ/mol-rxn Adenosine-5-Honophosphate + H2O Adenosine + HPi rG = 9.2 KJ/mol-rxn Which of the following combinations produces a reaction that is product-favored at equilibrium: for creatine phosphate to transfer phosphate to adenosine or for adenosine-5-monophosphate to transfer phosphate to creatine?
The given mechanism of transamination reaction is shown below, What is the role of the pyridinium group in Step D? 1. It acts as an electron-donating group (source) of electrons to enhance deprotonation of the amino acid by the enzyme. 2. It acts as an electron-withdrawing group (sink) to facilitate deprotonation of the amino acid. 3. It plays the role of a Lewis base to coordinate the amino acid. 4. Both 2 and 3 are true.

3) The enzyme aldolase catalyzes the conversion of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP)to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehide-3-phosphate (G3P). Thereaction isFDP ⇄ DHAP + G3P , ∆rG0(298.15 K) = 23.8 kJ mol−1In red blood cells the concentration of these species are [FDP] = 35 µM, [DHAP] =130 µM, and [G3P] = 15 µM.
