- In the context of fatty acid oxidation to acetyl CoA, indicate whether each of the following substances is involved in (1) fatty acid activation, (2) fatty acid trans-port, or (3) b-oxidation pathway. More than one choice may be correct in a given situation. a. AMp b. FAD c. Acyl CoA d. H2Oarrow_forwardFatty acids are converted to their coenzyme A esters in a reversible reaction catalyzed by acyl-CoA synthetase: R-COO +ATP +COA R-C-COA +AMP + PPi a) The reaction involves two steps the first of which forms an enzyme-bound intermediate identified as the mixed anhydride of the fatty acid and AMP: R-C-O-P-O-nibose-adenine Write two chemical equations coresponding to the two steps of the reaction catalyzed by the synthetase. b) The acyl-CoA synthetase reaction as written above is readily reversible. How might the reaction be made to favor formation of fatty acyl-CoA? Write within the box. Anything outside the box will not be graded. From thearrow_forwardThe following reaction, the last reaction in beta-oxidation, is an example of a: Enzyme Enzyme-H S-CoA S-COA H2C H3C CoA s–CoA C H2 CH2 R S-COA S-COA S-COA O A. Nucleophilic acyl substitution O B. Electrophilic addition OC. Nucleophilic addition D. Aldol condensation O E. Hydrohalogenationarrow_forward
- Acetly CoA can quickly enter the citric acid cyle by joining with a C4 compound and forming citrate. Meanwhile, GTP (or ATP) is generated using inorganic phosphate while succinyl CoA is converted to succinate. What is the main reason both acetly CoA and succinyl CoA can perform such work? a. Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA both contain coenzyme A, which is a high-energy compound. b. Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA both form an unstable thioester bond with coenzyme A. c. Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA both bind with inorganic phosphate which is used to generate ATP (or GTP). d. Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA both transiently form a covalent bond with the enzymes that catalyze the next reaction, pyruvate dehydrogenase and succinyl-CoA synthetase, respectively. e. Acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA use the energy collected from the electron transport chain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are the precursors in synthesizing myristic acid? a. 7 malonyl-CoA b. 3 acetyl-CoA, 4 malonyl-CoA c. 1 acetyl-CoA, 6 malonyl-CoA d. 7 acetyl-CoAarrow_forwardWhich of the following reactions correspond to the decarboxylation step during ketone body formation? A. 2 acetyl-CoA → acetoacetyl-CoA B. ß-hydroxybutarate → acetoacetate C. Acetoacetate → acetone D. HMG-CoA → mevalonatearrow_forward
- A biological Claisen reaction occurs in the conversion of two acetyl CoA molecules to one acetoacetyl CoA. Analyze each step of the incomplete mechanism and add the missing curved arrows. The base is abbreviated as B: in the mechanism.arrow_forwardThe sources of the three (3) carbons in malonyl-Coa is/are: a. 1 C from C02 and 2 C from acetyl-CoA b. 1 C from HCO3- and 2 C from acetyl-CoA c. 1 C from biotin and 2 C from acetyl-CoA d. All three C from acetyl-CoAarrow_forwardThe rate-limiting step in fatty acid synthesis is: a. The reduction of the acetoacetyl group to a ?-hydroxybutyryl group b. Formation of malonyl-CoA from malonate and coenzyme A. c. Condensation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA. d. The reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase.arrow_forward
- Which one of the following will function to inhibit CPT1? A.palmitoyl-CoA B.citrate C propionyl-CoA D.acetyl-CoA E malonyl-CoAarrow_forwardv Hydroxy methyl glutaryl coA Match the following metabolites with the correct metabolic pathway v Propionyl-CoA A. Kreb's cycle v Dihydroxy acetone phosphate B. Soluble fiber fermenta v succinyl co-A C. Cholesterol synthesis v Hydroxy methyl glutaryl coA D. glycolysis v Hydroxy-butyrate E. Beta oxidationarrow_forward(i) Consider a preparation that contains all the enzymes and cofactors necessary for fatty acid biosynthesis from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA. If [2-H] acetyl-CoA labeled with deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen and excess of unlabeled malonyl-CoA are added as substrates, where will you find these labeled deuterium atoms in a molecule of palmitate synthesized? Explain. S-COA (ii) Describe the steps involved in the synthesis of palmitic acid starting from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA.arrow_forward
