Citrate synthase catalyses the reaction
The standard free energy change for the reaction is role="math" localid="1660738017563" . (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 37oC. (b) Would you expect this reaction to serve as a control point for its pathway (the citric acid cycle)?
A hypothetical three-step metabolic pathway consists of intermediates W, X, Y, and Z and enzymes A, B, and C. Deduce the order of the enzymatic steps in the pathway from the following information:
1. Compound Q, a metabolic inhibitor of enzyme B, causes Z to build up.
2. A mutant in enzyme C requires Y for growth.
3. An inhibitor of enzyme A causes W, Y, and Z to accumulate.
4. Compound P, a metabolic inhibitor of enzyme C, causes W and Z to build up.
What are the metabolic roles of the coenzymes NAD+ and FAD?
Question: Is the reduced form of cytochrome c more likely to give up its electron to oxidized cytochrome a or cytochrome b?
Question: Aerobic organisms transfer electrons from reduced fuel molecules to O2, forming H2O . Some anaerobic organisms use nitrate (NO2)as an acceptor for electrons from reduced fuel molecules. Use the information in Table 14-4 to explain why aerobic organisms can harvest more free energy from a fuel molecule than can a nitrate-using anaerobe.
