Write the complete reaction for the isomerization of citrate. Name the enzyme that catalyses these reaction andcprovide the formulas of the reactants and the product of these reaction ?
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
Write the complete reaction for the isomerization of citrate. Name the enzyme that catalyses these reaction andcprovide the formulas of the reactants and the product of these reaction ?
The citric acid cycle starts with the condensation of oxaloacetate, a 4C compound and acetyle coA, 1 2C compound. The reaction between oxaloacetate with acetyl CoA and water gives citrate and CoA. This is an aldol condensation reaction. It is then followed by hydrolysis in presence of enzyme citrate synthase to form citrate.
