Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of phosphorus-oxygen bonds that is broken in the conversion of ADP to AMP via a hydrolysis reaction.
Concept introduction: High energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound. ADP and AMP are examples of high energy compounds.
ADP and AMP contain the adenine base, the ribose sugar unit and phosphate groups in their structure. They only differ in the number of phosphate group present in them. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) consists of two phosphoryl groups

- The diagram below shows an outline of the aminotransferase mechanism that skips the specific steps that show how electrons flow when a Schiff base is formed or is hydrolyzed. Using the mechanistic details given below A. Draw the mechanism for Enzyme- PLP Schiff base formation using pyridoxal and the lysine amine group using arrow to indicate electron flow. B.Draw the mechanism for hydrolysis of the Schiff base to form the a-keto acid, which is the reverse of the first reaction.arrow_forwardMatch the enzyme name to the description of the type of reaction that it catalyzes. Each choice can only be used once. 1. Transfers a hydride ion in a redox reaction and decarboxylates. 2. Forms a double bond through a dehydration reaction. 3. Combines an aldose and a ketose together in the first step and then cleaves the intermediate molecule into a new aldose and new ketose. Is NOT sensitive to a Vitamin B1 deficiency. 4. Acts as both an enzyme and a scaffold for the formation of a glucose homopolymer. 5.
