Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
To find: The role of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) in glycolysis and Calvin cycle.
Introduction:
Glycolysis is a stepwise process by which one molecule of glucose breaks into two molecules of pyruvic acid by partially oxidizing glucose. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Calvin cycle is a biochemical pathway for the reduction of CO2 or photosynthetic carbon. The acceptor molecule is a 5-carbon ketoses sugar i.e. Ribulose 5-bisphosphate (5 RuBP).

make a schematic diagram of BChE/AChE inhibitory determination
Butyrylthiocholine iodide (BChI), as well as acetylthiocholine iodide(AChI) molecules were utilized as substrate compounds of the reaction. Inthis regard, 5,5′‐dithio‐bis(2‐nitro‐benzoic acid) compound (DTNB) wasused to estimate BChE/AChE activity. In summary, 100 μL Tris buffersolution (HCl, 1.0M, pH 8.0, Tris) and variety of concentrations of thesample solution (50‐200 mL) were added in deionized water and also20 μL of BChE/AChE enzymes solutions added. The mixture was thenincubated for 10 minutes at 20°C. Finally, 50 μL of DTNB (0.5 mM and25 mL) BChI/AChI were added to the incubator mixture. The reactionwas also started by adding 50 μL BChI/AChI. The activity of theseenzymes was evaluated using spectrophotometric spectra with awavelength of 412 nm.

- Suppose that your Ph.D. mentor asks you to compare the kinetic behavior of the two recently discovered peptidase isozymes PepA and PepB. Your mentor's initial studies identified a pentapeptide substrate called Tide5 that appeared to be able to distinguish the kinetic behaviors of PepA and PepB. All they had time to tell you was this: At low Tide5 concentration, the ?o (initial velocity) of PepA was greater than PepB, but at high Tide5 concentration, the reverse was true. Before you start your kinetic assays, you decide it would be wise to ponder this small bit of information. You have no numbers to work with, but does it tell you something about the relative values of ?m and ?max for PepA and PepB?

- + Explain why a strain of yeast with a defect in the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase can grow well under aerobic conditions, but not under anaerobic conditions. The yeast strain grows well when aerobic because acetaldehyde is quickly converted to lactate. The yeast strain uses CO₂ to generate NAD+ when aerobic, but GAPDH needs NADH when anaerobic. The yeast strain grows equally well under aerobic and anaerobic, but polyphenol is lethal to this strain. The yeast strain cannot oxidize NADH to generate NAD+ for the GAPDH reaction when anaerobic. The yeast strain needs to generate ethanol in order to stimulate the PFK- 1 reaction when anaerobic.arrow_forwardOrder the cofactors based on their use in the mechanism of the a-etogluterate dehydrogenase complex. 1.
