Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), a modulator of hormone action, is related to AMP (Problem 29-35) but has its phosphate group linked to two hydroxyl groups at C3’ and C5’ of the sugar. Draw the structure of cyclic AMP.
What amino acid sequence is coded for by the following DNA coding strand (sense strand)?
Human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a small peptide of amino acids used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. How many nitrogen bases are present in the DNA that codes for BNP?
The primary fate of acetyl CoA under normal metabolic conditions is degradation in the citric acid cycle to yield CO2. When the body is stressed by prolonged starvation, however, acetyl CoA is converted into compounds called ketone bodies, which can be used by the brain as a temporary fuel. Fill in the missing information indicated by the four question marks in the following biochemical pathway for the synthesis of ketone bodies from acetyl CoA:
