Chapter 23: Q2P (page 1069)

What are the products of the following reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Enzymes are mostly proteins which increase the speed of a chemical reaction or some metabolic reaction.

Dehydrogenase enzymes are enzymes which remove hydrogen.

Step by step solution

01

Enzyme

Enzymes are mostly proteins which increase the speed of a chemical reaction or some metabolic reaction.

Dehydrogenase enzymes are enzymes which remove hydrogen.

02

Enzyme catalyzed reaction with pyridine nucleoclide as coenzyme

Isocitrate dehydrogenase is an enzyme which catalyze oxidation of secondary alcohol group in isocitate to ketone. The oxidizing agent used here is NAD+ .

03

Final products of given reaction 

As NAD+ will oxidise the secondary alcohol to ketone so the products of reaction will be as follows:

Question: How do the structures of tetrahydrofolate and aminopterin differ?

Question:A fatty acid (a long straight-chain carboxylic acid with an even number of carbons) is metabolized to acetyl- CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle to be further metabolized (Section 24.9). A fatty acid with an odd number of carbons is metabolized to acetyl-CoA and one equivalent of propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA cannot enter the citric acid cycle. Two coenzyme-requiring enzymes are needed to convert it to succinyl-CoA, a compound that can enter the citric acid cycle. Write the two enzyme-catalyzed reactions and include the names

of the required coenzymes.
