Textbook Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.8P
Many biological transformations can be simply classified as additions, eliminations, or substitutions. How would you classify the following reactions?
(a) Fumaric acid to malic acid (found in the citric acid cycle. Section 21.8)
(b) 2-Phosphoglyceric acid to phosphoenolpyruvic acid (found in glycolysis, Section 22.3)

To completely reduce an oxidized cytochrome-c, how many electrons are required?
Based on this information, what type of enzyme would ornithine decarboxylase be? I searched it up on Google and sources say it is a lyase because it catalyzes cleavage without H2O, but in equation 1, isn't water part of the reaction? Is decarboxylase still a lyase because water is a reactant, not a catalyst?
Which of the reactants in the citric acid cycle have two chiral carbon atoms?

Additionally, which two mechanims of the three you listed does the enzyme chymotrypsin use?arrow_forwardIn 1937, two German biochemists published a paper proposing these reactions as part of glucose oxidation: citrate → isocitrate → α-ketoglutarate →succinate → fumarate → malate → oxaloacetate. Adding succinate, fumarate, or malate to thin slices of tissue increased oxygen consumption, supporting the hypothesis that these molecules are intermediates in the process. However, they were puzzled by the observation that these intermediates were still present in the reaction mixture at the end of the experiment. They had thought that intermediates would be consumed as they were converted to the next molecule in the pathway. What explains the observation that these intermediates were still present? a) The pathway is a cycle, constantly regenerating intermediates as glucose is broken down. b) Succinate, fumarate, and malate are not reactants but catalysts, and catalysts are not consumed in the process. c) Succinate, fumarate, and malate increase metabolism and therefore oxygen consumption,…arrow_forward
