Question 6

The reaction of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to give glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate is an example of&#10;A) a reverse aldol condensation&#10;B) hydrolysis&#10;C) oxidation&#10;D) dehydration

Accepted Answer

The reaction of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to give glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate is a reverse aldol condensation. This is because it involves the reverse of the aldol condensation reaction, where a molecule is broken down into two smaller molecules instead of being combined into a larger molecule.

Question 8

A coenzyme frequently encountered in transamination reactions is&#10;A) tetrahydrofolate&#10;B) pyridoxal phosphate&#10;C) thiamine pyrophosphate&#10;D) biotin

Accepted Answer

Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme frequently encountered in transamination reactions. It serves as a cofactor for aminotransferases, which catalyze the transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to an alpha-keto acid, thereby converting the latter to a new amino acid.

Question 9

What reaction does glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) catalyze?&#10;A) The oxidative deamination of glutamate to yield a-ketoglutarate.&#10;B) Phosphorylation of carbamate to yield carbamoyl phosphate.&#10;C) The amidation of the g carboxyl group of glutamate to form glutamine.&#10;D) The deadenylation of glutamine synthetase (GS).&#10;E) The adenylation of glutamine synthetase.

Accepted Answer

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate to yield a-ketoglutarate, which is an important step in the citric acid cycle. Therefore, the correct choice is A.

Question 10

The key functional group in the PLP-dependent transamination of an a-amino acid is an activated&#10;A) amine&#10;B) imine&#10;C) amide&#10;D) enamine

Accepted Answer

The key functional group in PLP-dependent transamination is an imine linkage between the PLP cofactor and the a-amino acid substrate, which is formed through the elimination of the amino group from the amino acid and the Schiff base formation with PLP. This imine linkage allows for the transfer of the amino group to the keto acid acceptor, which ultimately leads to the production of a new amino acid and a new keto acid. Therefore, the correct answer is B) imine.

Question 11

Which group of small molecules best fit the boxes associated with the reaction shown? a b c A) ATP ADP H₂O B) NADH NAD⁺ P_i C) NAD⁺ NADH H₂O D) NAD⁺ NADH P_i
