Question
Chapter 22, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
To calculate:
The concentration of glucose-1-phosphate when the reaction is at equilibrium.
Introduction:
Glycogen phosphorylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycogen to produce glucose-1-phosphate. This reaction shortens the glycogen molecule and it is the rate limiting step in the glycogen degradation.

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?
Efficiency 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.

- Understanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forwardModeling the Regulation of AcetyI-CoA Carboxylase Based on the information presented in the text and in Figures 24.4 and 24.5, suggest a model for the regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Consider the possible roles of subunit interactions, phosphorylation, and conformation changes in your model.arrow_forward
