Chapter 18, Problem 17P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To arrange: The intermediates in proper metabolic sequence for isoleucine degradation.

Introduction:

Strategies equivalent to the chemical reaction in the citric acid cycle and beta- oxidation of fatty acids are analogous to the chemical process of isoleucine degradation. The intermediates are arranged according to the knowledge and understanding of the citric acid cycle and beta-oxidation pathway.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The chemical process that provides an analogous example from the citric acid cycle or β-oxidation pathway and indicates any necessary cofactors.

Introduction:

The analogues example to the citric acid cycle and beta-oxidation pathway is similar to isoleucine degradation biochemical processes. The cofactors are also associated with the different chemical processes.
