Step by step solution

01

Describe what is an AMP?

Adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP) is a key compound in the energy-producing process of living cells. The nucleotide base adenine (A) is connected to the sugar ribose (five-membered ring), which is coupled to a linear "tail" of one phosphate group. Adenosine 5’-monophosphate is an organic component of RNA.

02

Give the structure of adenosine 5’-monophosphate.

The structure of adenosine 5’-monophosphate is drawn as follows:

In step 8 of fatty-acid biosynthesis (Figure 29-5), reduction of transcrotonyl ACP gives butyryl ACP. A hydride from NADPH adds to C3 ofthe crotonyl group from the Re face, and protonation on C2 occurs onthe Si face. Is the reduction a syn addition or an anti addition?

PROBLEM 29-4Write a mechanism for the dehydration reaction of β-hydroxybutyryl ACP to yield crotonyl ACP in step 7 of fatty-acid synthesis.

PROBLEM 29-8Look at the entire glycolysis pathway, and make a list of the kinds of organic reactions that take place-nucleophilic acyl substitutions, aldol reactions, E1cB reactions, and so forth.

PROBLEM 29-3How many molecules of acetyl CoAare produced by catabolism of the following fatty acids, and how many passages of the β-oxidation pathway are needed?

(a) Palmitic acid,localid="1663327972127" CH3(CH2)14CO2H.

(b) Arachidic acid,CH3(CH2)18CO2H.

Why aren’t the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways the exact reverse of each other?
