Chapter 27, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enzyme suitable for such drugs as potential targets should be identified.

Concept introduction:

A catalyst substance may be a molecule that binds to associate protein and reduces its activity. Since obstruction an enzyme's activity will kill an infectious agent or correct a metabolic imbalance, several medicines are catalyst inhibitors. They’re conjointly utilized in pesticides.

Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice.   a. Ribose-5-phosphate is produced by oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate catalyzed by the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. I. True II. False   b. The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the mitochondrion of tissues actively engaged in synthesis of fatty acids. I. True II. False
Help filling in the blanks: The malate aspartate shuttle plays many roles in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Malate can be transferred into the cytosol and interconverted in one enzymatic step to produce [oxaloacetate/glucose/PEP/pyruvate] for use in the pathway of [glycolysis/gluconeogenesis]. A product of the urea cycle, derived from aspartate, can also be converted to malate in one enzymatic step and shuttled into the mitochondria so that the urea cycle product can be used in [fatty acid synthesis/the citric acid cycle/β-oxidation]. The amino group from aspartate can be transferred to [oxalacetate/malate/fumarate/pyruvate/a- ketoglutarate] to form glutamate, which is then transported into the mitochondria. In fact many amino acids are transaminated in this way to form glutamate in the cytosol. In this way, incoming amino acids from the bloodstream can be shuttled into the liver mitochondria as glutamate for conversion by glutamate dehydrogenase to [glutamate/a-ketoglutarate…
Fill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.
