Question
Chapter 23, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The plausible reaction sequence of isoleucine degradation should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The isoleucine is an amino acid. An amino acid is a molecule having an amino group and one carboxyl group. The degradation of the isoleucine in biological system causes the formation of acetyl Co-A and Succinyl co A.

Instructions.
Given each set of information which may include common name(s) and the reaction catalyzed, you are required to identify the main class of the specific enzyme described.
Name: citryl-CoA synthetase
Reaction: ATP + citrate + CoA = ADP + phosphate + (3S)-citryl-CoA
Name: D-xylulose reductase
Reaction: xylitol + NAD+ = D-xylulose + NADH + H+
Name: cellobiose phosphorylase
Reaction: cellobiose phosphate = α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + D-glucose
Name: carbonic anhydrase
Reaction: H2CO3 = CO2 + H2O
Other info: The enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of gaseous CO2 to carbonic acid, which dissociates to give hydrogencarbonate above neutral pH.
Name: pantoate activating enzyme
Reaction: ATP + (R)-pantoate = AMP + diphosphate + (R)-pantothenate.
. Pyruvate can be processed under anaerobic conditions to ethanol (in yeast) or to lactate (in
mammals), as shown.
Explain the primary purpose of these reactions.

(ii)
Acyl Carrier Protein S-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.38) is a transferase enzyme that
catalyzes the first biosynthetic pathway for fatty acid synthase. It transfers the acyl
group (CH3CO) first from coenzyme A to a cysteine residue in the active site. This is
similar to what happens in Chymotrypsin, however utilizing a sulfur instead of an
oxygen. The acyl group is then transferred to the molecule ACP. Provide the enzyme-
catalyzed mechanism for the reaction below, making sure to identify the roles of all key
