Chapter 18.8, Problem 14P
In succinate dehydrogenase, FAD is covalently bound to its enzyme as a result of a base removing a proton from the C-8 methyl group and an acid donating a proton to N-1. Then a hitstidine side chain of the enzyme adds to the methylene carbon at C-8 as a proton adds to N-5.Draw the mechanism for these two steps that lead to enzyme-bound FADH2.

FAD is covalently bound to succinate dehydrogenase (the enzyme whose mechanism was shown on the previous page) as a result of a base removing a proton from the C-8 methyl group and an acid donating a proton to N-1. Then a histidine side chain of the enzyme adds to the methylene carbon at C-8 and a proton adds to N-5. Draw the mechanism for these two steps using B: _ and HB for the base and acid, respectively.
TPP is a coenzyme for transketolase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a ketopentose (xylulose5-phosphate) and an aldopentose (ribose-5-phosphate) to an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) and a ketoheptose (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate). Notice that the total number of carbons in the reactants and products is the same (5 + 5 = 3 + 7). Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
What class of enzyme catalyzes each of the following reactions? a. hydrolysis of Val–Gly to Val and Gly b. transfer of a phosphate from ATP to fructose 6-phosphate c. conversion of CH 3CH 2OH to CH 3CHO with NAD +
