- RECALL Which of the enzymes discussed in this chapter are NADH-linked dehydrogenases?arrow_forwardMATHEMATICAL Calculate the net ATP yield from the complete processing of a saturated fatty acid containing 17 carbons. Consider the -oxidation steps, processing of acetyl-CoA through the citric acid cycle, and electron transport.arrow_forwardMATHEMATICAL You do an enzyme kinetic experiment and calculate a Vmax of 100 mol of product per minute. If each assay used 0.1 mL of an enzyme solution that had a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL, what would be the turnover number if the enzyme had a molecular weight of 128,000 g/mol?arrow_forward
- RECALL Which reaction or reactions that we have met in this chapter require ATP? Which reaction or reactions produce ATP? List the enzymes that catalyze the reactions that require and that produce ATP.arrow_forwardMATHEMATICAL Calculate the net ATP yield from oleic acid (18:19). Hint: Remember the step that bypasses acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.arrow_forwardRECALL Organize the following words into two related groups: catabolism, energy-requiring, reductive, anabolism, oxidative, energy-yielding.arrow_forward
- MATHEMATICAL For an enzyme that displays MichaelisMenten kinetics, what is the reaction velocity, V (as a percentage of Vmax), observed at the following values? (a) [S]=KM (b) [S]=0.5KM (c) [S]=0.1KM (d) [S]=2KM (e) [S]=10KMarrow_forwardRECALL Which reaction or reactions that we have met in this chap- ter require NADH? Which reaction or reactions require NAD+? List the enzymes that catalyze the reactions that require NADH and that require NAD+.arrow_forwardMATHEMATICAL For the Vmax obtained in Question 26, calculate the turnover number (catalytic rate constant) assuming that 131024mol of enzyme were used.arrow_forward
- RECALL How many ATPs can be produced from one molecule of glucose anaerobically? Aerobically?arrow_forwardRECALL NADH is an important coenzyme in catabolic processes, whereas NADPH appears in anabolic processes. Explain how an exchange of the two can be effected.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLLY In what way is the observed mode of action of hexokinase consistent with the induced-fit theory of enzyme action?arrow_forward
