We have encountered reactions similar to the oxidation, hydration, and oxidation reactions of fatty acid degradation earlier in our study of biochemistry. What other pathway employs this set of reactions?
The fats metabolic pathway represented above corresponds to lipolysis (i.e., oxidation of fatty acids) and is a…
Question 5 options:
a)
Catabolic pathway.
b)
Anabolic pathway.
c)
Both a catabolic and an anabolic pathway.
d)
Allosteric pathway.
e)
None of the above.
For a lot of enzymes that work on fatty acids, the rate determining step is the release of the product from the active site. This means that the activation energy for product release is much higher than the free energy of catalysis. What enthalpic or entropic contributions would make the activation energy for product release so high and explain?

Why was this a bad (i.e., fatal) idea?arrow_forwardThe incredible catalytic power of enzymes can perhaps best be appreciated by imagining how challenging life would be without just one of the thousands of enzymes in the human body. For example, consider life without fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, an enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway in liver and kidneys, which helps produce new glucose from the food we eat: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H20 → Fructose-6-phosphate + P; The human brain requires glucose as its only energy source, and the typical brain consumes about 120. g (or 480. calories) of glucose daily. Ordinarily, two pieces of sausage pizza could provide more than enough potential glucose to feed the brain for a day. According to a national fast-food chain, two pieces of sausage pizza provide 1290 calories, 47.0 % of which is from fat. Fats cannot be converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis, so that leaves 606 calories potentially available for glucose synthesis. The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of…arrow_forward
