Chapter 23: Q3P (page 1071)

What is the product of the following reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Enzymes are mainly proteins which when used in a reaction, they increase the speed of product formation.

Step by step solution

01

Enzyme

Enzymes are mainly proteins which when used in a reaction, they increase the speed of product formation.

02

NADH+ H+ role

NADH+ H+ is a reducing agent. It donates hydride ion from its forth position in reaction. It reduces ketone to secondary alcohol.

03

Final products of given reaction

As NADH+ H+will reduce the ketone to secondary alcohol so the products of reaction will be as follows:

Acetolactate synthase is another TPP-requiring enzyme. It transfers the acyl group of pyruvate to another molecule of pyruvate, forming acetolactate. This is the first step in the biosynthesis of the amino acids valine and leucine. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.

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

a. What acyl group does pyruvate decarboxylase transfer to a proton?

b. What acyl group does the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex transfer to coenzyme A?

c. What acyl group does transketolase transfer to ribose-5-P?

The enzyme that catalyzes the Cฮฑ-Cฮฒbond cleavage reaction that converts serine to glycine removes the substituent (R) bonded to the \(\alpha \)-carbon in the first step of the reaction. Starting with PLP bound to serine in an imine linkage, propose a mechanism for this reaction. (Hint:The first step involves removal of the proton from serineโ€™s OH group.)

Question:Five coenzymes are required by -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, the enzyme in the citric acid cycle that converts -ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA.

a. Identify the coenzymes.

b.Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
