Question
Chapter 22, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the reversible nature of the reaction of formation of acyl-CoA should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The fatty acid activation occurs in the outer membrane of the mitochondria or the endoplasmic reticulum. During this process, fatty acids react with CoA to form fatty acyl CoA. This reaction requires energy in the form of ATP and yields AMP (adenine monophosphate) and PPi (pyrophosphate).

Biosynthesis of leucine involves conversion of 1-isopropyimalate to 2-isopropylmalate (see above). This proceeds in four steps under basic
enzymic catalysis via an isolable compound produced in step 2. Write a detailed mechanism for this conversion. Then, draw the intermediate
compound) produced in step 2.
• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Draw uninvolved carboxyl groups in the anionic state, and enolates as carbanions.
When needed, abbreviate CoenzymeA-S- as CH3S- In your drawing.

Using chemical symbols or structures, illustrate the reducing activity of ascorbate in forming ascorbyl radical and dehydroascorbic acid
Why do we refer to the ascorbate/ascorbyl-radical/dehydroascorbate system as a reversible redox system?
Explain the role of ascorbic acid in:
Collagen synthesis
Iron absorption
Regeneration of a-tocopherol
Chemical labeling of chymotrypsin by the compound tosylphenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) modifies the His 57 in the
enzyme's active site. The structure of this derivative is shown below. TPCK inactivates the enzyme because the bulky addition
prevents it from cleaving nearby covalent bonds.
