(b)
Interpretation:
The stoichiometry of the synthesis of
Concept introduction:
The stoichiometry of a chemical species involved in a chemical reaction represents the number of chemical species involved in the chemical reaction. The stoichiometry of a chemical species helps in calculating the expected mass of reactant and product. The stoichiometry of a chemical species is also represented by a number of moles.

- BIOMOLECULES - MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please answer properly QUESTION : In human beings, what is the major control of de novo pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis? A. substrate availability B. competitive inhibition of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II C. feedback inhibition of glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase D. vailability of N-acetyl glutamatearrow_forwardQuestion:- Explain why withholding galactose from the diet of galactosaemia patients has no effects on their synthesis of glycoprotein.arrow_forwardEfficiency of ATP Production in Muscle: The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.arrow_forward
- Molecular detail of spike Y453Farrow_forwardQuestion:- Explain why it makes sense for the PDH complex in liver to be active when dephosphorylated.arrow_forwardBiochemical events in the synthesis of ATP: I. Subunits of ATP synthase chages in conformation and twists/rotates as H+ moves through it II. H+ gradient is the driving force (through the ATP synthase) to form ATP from ADP + Pi. III. H+ moving across the membrane through ATP synthase rotates its ring of c subunits II and III only I, II, III I and II only I and III onlyarrow_forward
- Enzyme Activity and Physiological Function, The Vmax of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase from skeletal muscle is much greater than the Vmax of the same enzyme from liver tissue. (a) What is the physiological function of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle?arrow_forwardBiochemical significance of transamination reactionsarrow_forwardSerine protease enzyme mutation To show differences in the effect of the nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl group (C=O) of peptide bond between the catalytic triad of serine, histidine and aspartic acid, and another catalytic triad contains alanine, histidine and aspartic acid Provide/ draw an example of catalytic mechanism with catalytic triad contains alanine, histidine and aspartic Please answer completely will give rating surelyarrow_forward
- Enzyme: Crystal Structure of Wild-Type Human Phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) the description of the mechanism of how this enzyme is regulated (e.g., depending on the enzyme, the mechanism could range from being solely dependent on gene regulation to protein structure-based mechanism).arrow_forwardQuestion- Some of the reactions of NO in the blood do not cause problems at low concentrations but can upset the normal reactions of hemoglobin if there is a large concentration of NO. The same reactions can cause trouble if a synthetic blood substitute contains a molecule similar to hemoglobin but does not contain all the other enzymes normally contained in red blood cells. Explain what this problem is and how it arises.arrow_forwardmultiple choice, choose the correct answer Under which of the following conditions would an enzyme fail to be accurately described by the M-M equation:1. kcat >> k1 or k-12. In the presence of a negative allosteric effector3. At low concentrations, the reaction is first order with respect to substrate concentration4. At high concentrations the reaction is zero order with respect to substratearrow_forward
