Question
Chapter 25, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
Results in the graph are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked inherited disorder. It affects about 380,000 people across the globe. Due to this uric acid gets accumulated in the blood and urine, leading to hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria. This also leads to gout and kidney problems.

Multivitamin B complex are essential compounds that are used as derivatives for compounds necessary for many metabolic activities. Give 3 vitamin B compounds and explain where and how they are used along the metabolic pathway.
47. No exchange. Mice that completely lack ATP-ADP translocase (ANT- /ANT - ) can be made by using the knockout technique. Remarkably, these mice are viable but have the following pathological conditions: (1) high serum levels of lactate, alanine, and succinate; (2) little electron transport; and (3) a six- to eightfold increase in the level of mitochondrial H2O2 compared with that in normal mice. Provide a possible biochemical explanation for each of these conditions.

- The enzymatic activity of PFK1 is generally measured by set- ting up a coupled enzyme assay system whereby aldolase, triose phos- phate isomerase, and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase are added to the assay mixture. For the latter enzyme, NADH is added and its change in concentration is readily monitored at 340 nm. Write the chain of reactions catalyzed by these enzymes using structural formulas, label substrates and products, and explain why the coupled en- zyme assay system leads to oxidation of NADH. While the chain of reac- tions is similar to those in glycolysis, there is a critical difference because of the dehydrogenase enzyme.
