Acid phosphatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human bloodserum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyzebiological phosphate esters as follows:R-O-P-O3-2 + H2O -----> R-OH + HO-P-O3-2Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver,and prostrate gland. The enzyme from the prostrate gland is clinically important because anincreased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostrate gland.Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostrate gland, but not acidphosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specific procedure for measuring the activity of the acid phosphatase of the prostrate gland in humanblood serum?
10 ATP/Acetyl-CoA * 2 acetyl-CoA = 20 ATP 1 GTP/ Acetyl-CoA * 2 acetyl-CoA = 2 GTP 1,5 ATP/ FADH2 * 1 FADH2= 1,5 ATP 2,5 ATP/ NADH * 3 NADH = 7,5 ATP 7,5 + 1,5 + 20 = 29 ATP och 2 GTP All of this is round off, how to calculate without rounding off? 2-Acetyl-CoA and 15 subunits
What is the purpose of carnitine acyltransferase II? O formation of a fatty acyl-CoA molecule in the mitochondrial matrix after transport of a long chain acylcarnitine molecule from the cytosol O formation of an acylcarnitine molecule from an acyl-CoA molecule in the cytosol prior to transport across the mitochondrial membrane O transport of an acylcarnitine molecule from the inner membrane space to the mitochondrial matrix O emulsification of long chain fatty acids prior to uptake by intestinal epithelial cells
Why is it important that the hexokinase reaction have a large negative deltaG? Would the cell be able to generate/store energy if the deltaG were close to zero? The GAPDH reaction uses an active site cysteine to catalyze the reaction. How would replacing the cysteine by serine affect the reaction? Why do kinases require magnesium to function well?

Below is an image of the Krebs cycle: acetyl-CoA oxaloacetate COASH H20 NADH NAD* H20 malate citrate fumarate isocitrate FADH2 NAD* CO2 FAD АТР NADH + ADP succinate GTP NAD+ a-ketoglutarate H20 GDP NADH + CO2 COASH succinyl CoA COASH Consider the conversion of succinate to fumarate, which is coupled with the production the electron carrier FADH2. If this reaction was NOT coupled with the production of FADH2 (and only catalyzed the conversion of succinate to fumarate), how would this impact ATP production through cell respiration? OATP production would stop because no high energy electron carriers would be produced ATP production would still occur, but there would be a much lower ATP yield because a large number of electron carriers are no longer being made ATP production would stop because without FADH2 we will no longer have electrons moving through the electron transport chain ATP production would still occur, but there would be a slightly lower ATP yield because a small number of…

In angiogenic endothelial cells, pyruvate is converted to lactate (generating 2 ATP per glucose) rather than being completely oxidized (which would generate ~32 ATP by oxidative phosphorylation). Explain why angiogenic cells generate ATP anaerobically.
