Choose the correct answer from the options in brackets.
The [positive/negative] standard free‑energy change favors the oxidation of succinate by covalently‑bound FAD. This is consistent with K′eq [ >1 / =1 / <1 ]. Oxidation by NAD+ would require a large, [positive/negative] standard free‑energy change, with K′eq favoring the synthesis of succinate.

Transcribed Image Text:All the dehydrogenases of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle use NAD+ (Eº for NAD+/NADH is -0.32 V) as electron acceptor
except succinate dehydrogenase, which uses covalently-bound FAD (E for FAD/FADH2 in this enzyme is 0.050 V). The Eo
value for fumarate/succinate is 0.031 V.

Use a diagram to illustrate and describe the cascade of events that occur as proposed by the authors. Induction of metallothionein (MT) expression is involved in metal homeostasis and detoxification. To identify the key pathways that regulate metal-induced cytotoxicity, we investigate how phosphorylated metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) contributed to induction of MT expression. Immortal human embryonic kidney cells (HEK cells) were treated with seven kinds of metals including cadmium chloride (CdCl2), zinc sulphate (ZnSO4), copper sulphate (CuSO4), lead acetate (PbAc), nickel sulphate (NiSO4), sodium arsenite (NaAsO2), and potassium bichromate (K2Cr2O7). The MT expression was induced in a dose-response and time-dependent manner upon various metal treatments. A cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation was…arrow_forward

It has been reported that the concentrations of NAD+ and NADH in yeast mitochondria were 20 mM and 0.3 mM, respectively. If we performed similar measurements and also determined that the concentration of malate in yeast mitochondria was 0.5 mM and that of oxaloacetate was 0.1 µM at pH 7.0 at 37˚C, use this information to calculate the free energy of the reaction of yeast in mitochondria.arrow_forwardThe following question focuses on how the parameters regulating enzyme function might change, and how these might appear graphically on a Michaelis-Menten plot and a Lineweaver-Burke plot. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that will convert CO2 and water into HCO3. CO2 + H20 > H+ + HCO3 There are many different isoforms of this enzyme. (see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase . Assume that one variant has a Km of 10 µM and a different variant has a Km of 100 µM. Draw on the same graph a typical Michaelis-Menton plot showing the alteration in the rate of carbonic anhydrase as the CO2 level is varied for the two different variants of enzyme, assuming the concentration of the enzyme (10 mM) in the test tube is kept constant. Assume that you have equal amounts of the two different variants of carbonic anhydrase in a number of test tubes and that the Vmax for both enzymes are the same. Be sure to label the axes.

- The Beutler test is used to diagnose GALT (UDP-glucose uridyltransferase) deficiency in infants. Blood from the heel is spotted onto filter paper and the spot is then subjected to an enzyme assay. Galactose 1-phosphate, NADP+ and UDP-glucose are added as substrates to the dried blood. The increase in absorbance at 340nm is measured over time which corresponds to reduction of NADP+ to NADPH . The amount of GALT activity in the blood of patients is therefore measured by stoichiometric relationship to the amount of NADPH produced from NADP+. However, GALT does not directly reduce NADP+ as you can see in the above diagram. Instead, the glucose 1-phosphate product from this reaction is shuttled into the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway by enzymes also present in RBCs. Which three (or possibly more if you must) enzymes downstream of GALT allow for quantitative correlation of a product of GALT with the appearance of NADPH?
