a)
Interpretation:
For given reaction, the type of reaction has to be classified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation:
In a reaction, the loss of electrons from an element or addition of oxygen for an element is known as oxidation reaction.

- Name four amino acids that can be converted directly (in one step) into pyruvate or a citric acid cycle intermediate, and name the intermediate formed from each.arrow_forwardUnder anaerobic circumstances, why is pyruvate converted to lactate?arrow_forwardThe glycine cleavage system is a group of four enzymes that together catalyze the following reaction: Use the following information to determine the sequence of reactions carried out by the glycine cleavage system:a. The first enzyme is a PLP-requiring decarboxylase.b. The second enzyme is aminomethyltransferase. This enzyme has a lipoate coenzyme.c. The third enzyme synthesizes N5,N10-methylene-THF and also forms +NH4.d. The fourth enzyme is an FAD-requiring enzyme.e. The cleavage system also requires NAD+ .arrow_forward
- Draw a schematic illustration of the hydrolysis of N-acetylphenylalaninamide catalyzed byalpha-chymotrypsin in which you indicate the important catalytic residues in the active site and how thesubstrate undergoes transformation to products through two different tetrahedral intermediates.arrow_forwardWhat is alpha keto glutarate dehydrogenase complex?. explain very briefly.arrow_forwardTrypsin, a peptidase that hydrolyzes polypeptides, functions in the small intestine at an optimum pH of 7.7–8.0. How is the rate of a trypsin-catalyzed reaction affected by each of the following conditions?arrow_forward
- In what way is the observed mode of action of hexokinase consistent with the induced-fit theory of enzyme action?arrow_forwardThis is a depiction of the connection between the urea cycle, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and the citric acid cycle. In this depiction, blank boxes with numbers are hiding the name of a metabolite. Using the list below the pathway name the missing metabolites. Hint: Start by identifying #1, #6, and #7 and work from there.arrow_forwarda-Keto acids other than a-ketoglutarate can accept the amino group from pyridoxamine in enzyme-catalyzed transamination reactions. What amino acids are formed when the following a-keto acids accept the amino group?O OO O Opyruvate oxaloacetatearrow_forward
- How is the urea cycle linked to the citric acid cycle? Write the net equation of the urea cycle and indicate whether energy is produced or consumed by the cycle. What type of damage occurs if there is a defect in the urea cycle?arrow_forwardUDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme. What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?arrow_forwardName the following enzymes:a. enzyme responsible for the cutting of the sugar on the nonreducing ends of glycogen branches b. enzyme that is only present in the liver and kidney during glycogen utilization c. enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a two-carbon fragment from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor in PPParrow_forward
