D.epimerase
E.Propionyl-CoA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degradation of valine, isoleucine, and methionine leads to succinyl-CoA through a pathway that involves the conversion of these amino acids to propionyl-CoA (E), followed by carboxylation using biotin and ATP (A) to form methylmalonyl-CoA (C). This is then isomerized by an epimerase (D) and finally converted to succinyl-CoA by a mutase (B). The correct sequence is E, A, C, D, C, B.
