Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The recycling device in carbohydrate metabolism that converts a dead-end product into the mainstream substrate.

Concept introduction:

The force that promotes the movement of protons across the membrane down the concentration gradient is termed as proton motive force. Mostly, PMF is generated by the electron transport chain. The proton motive force makes the cell to act as the tiny battery. PMF helps the cell perform work or store the energy for future use.

Instructions. Given each set of information which may include common name(s) and the reaction catalyzed, you are required to identify the main class of the specific enzyme described. Name: citryl-CoA synthetase Reaction: ATP + citrate + CoA = ADP + phosphate + (3S)-citryl-CoA Name: D-xylulose reductase Reaction: xylitol + NAD+ = D-xylulose + NADH + H+ Name: cellobiose phosphorylase Reaction: cellobiose phosphate = α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + D-glucose Name: carbonic anhydrase Reaction: H2CO3 = CO2 + H2O Other info: The enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of gaseous CO2 to carbonic acid, which dissociates to give hydrogencarbonate above neutral pH. Name: pantoate activating enzyme Reaction: ATP + (R)-pantoate = AMP + diphosphate + (R)-pantothenate.
