C6H12O6 + a*O2 + b*NH3 --> c*CH1.64O0.52N0.16 + d*CO2 + e*H2O + f*C2H5OH In the aerobic yeast growth process, overflow metabolism can be observed when the sugar feed rate exceeds the oxidizing capacity of the yeast. In this case, part of the substrate is treated anaerobically and the production of biomass is reduced and ethanol is formed. This can also be observed when the respiratory rate RQ goes above one. The chemical composition of this yeast is CH1.64O0.52N0.16 . The yield of ethanol from glucose is 0.14 g g-1 and the yield of biomass from glucose is 0.362 g g-1. Calculate the oxygen demand of the reaction. In this calculation, use the following rounded even values as atomic weights for all calculations: C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol, O=16 g/mol ja N=14 g/mol. So how many moles of oxygen are needed per mole of glucose?

One step in glycolysis is the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The direct reaction of fructose-6-phosphate with inorganic phosphate fructose-6-phosphate + Pi ⇌ fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H₂O is very unfavorable, with ∆G'°= 16.3 kJ/mol and K'eq = 1.39×10⁻³. However, in glycolysis the reaction is coupled to ATP hydrolysis: fructose-6-phosphate + ATP ⇌ fructose-1,6-phosphate + ADP and the reaction if favorable. What is the equilibrium [fructose-1,6-bisphosphate]/[fructose-6-phosphate] ratio in the coupled reaction when [ATP] = [ADP]? For ATP hydrolysis ∆G'°= -30.5 kJ/mol at 25°C.
When some sugars dissolve in water they spontaneously undergo changes in optical rotation called mutarrotation. The Mutarrotation of D-glucopyranose is catalyzed by acid and bases. 2-Hydroxypyridine is a more effective catalyst than phenol and pyridine for this reaction because: a.Both oxygen and N in 2-hydroxypyridine act as bases increasing the rapid interconversion of sugar b. The OH of 2-hydroxypyridine serves as the base while the current N as the acid. c. 2-hydroxypyridine acts both as a base to remove the proton from the hydroxyl group in the hemiacetal and as an acid to provide a proton to the oxygen in the hemiacetal. d.Phenol and pyridine are very expensive.
Determine the branch points and reducing ends of amylopectin. A 0.5g sample of amylopectin was analyzed to determine the fraction of the total glucose residues that are branch points in the structure. The sample was methylated and then digested, yielding 50 μmol of 2,3-methylglucose and 0.4 μmol of 1,2,3,6-tetramethyl glucose. (MWglucose = 162 g/mol, minus H2O) What fraction of the total residues are branch points? How many reducing ends does the amylopectin have?

3) The enzyme aldolase catalyzes the conversion of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP)to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehide-3-phosphate (G3P).

(Remember that 1.0 µM = 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1. Thestandard state for reactions in solution can be taken as c0 = 1.0 mol L−1).Calculate ∆rG in a red blood cell at 25 0C. Will the reaction occur spontaneouslyin the cell at this temperature?

A protein has a stability ranging from 6 to 15 kcal/mole at 37 OC. Stability is a measureof the equilibrium between the folded and unfolded protein given by the relationship; folded(F) = unfolded (U), k=[U]/[F] For a protein with a stability of 10 kcal/mole, calculate the fraction of unfolded proteinthat would exist at equilibrium at 37 OC.
