Chapter 29.SE, Problem 51AP

In glycerol metabolism, the oxidation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to give dihydroxyacetone phosphate is catalyzed by sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, with NAD+ as cofactor. The reaction is stereospecific, occurring exclusively on the Re face of the nicotinamide ring.

List the following in order of increasing tendency to accept electrons: (a) α-ketoglutarate + CO2 (yielding isocitrate); (b) oxaloacetate; (c) O2; (d) NADP+.
draw the chemical structures of the reactant and product of the following reactions: a.) addition of a phosphate group to (ex: phosphorylation of) glycose b.) addition of a phosphate group to (ex: phosphorylation of) fructose-6-phosphate c.) addition of a phosphate group to (ex: phosphorylation of) phosphoenolpyruvate
The vitamin Niacin is used to form nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide, which readily shuttles between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms. The latter serves as a cellular equivalent to NaBH4. The essential portions of the structures are shown below. Outline a mechanism for the cellular conversion of pyruvate to lactate. (Note: like NaBH4, NADH cannot reduce carboxylic acid carbonyls).
