  • Pentose PO4 Pathway, Fructose, Galactose Metabolism.Pptx
    Pentose PO4 pathway, Fructose, galactose metabolism The Entner Doudoroff pathway begins with hexokinase producing Glucose 6 PO4 , but produce only one ATP. This pathway prevalent in anaerobes such as Pseudomonas, they doe not have a Phosphofructokinase. The pentose phosphate pathway (also called the phosphogluconate pathway and the hexose monophosphate shunt) is a biochemical pathway parallel to glycolysis that generates NADPH and pentoses. While it does involve oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. There are two distinct phases in the pathway. The first is the oxidative phase, in which NADPH is generated, and the second is the non-oxidative synthesis of 5-carbon sugars. For most organisms, the pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol. For each mole of glucose 6 PO4 metabolized to ribulose 5 PO4, 2 moles of NADPH are produced. 6-Phosphogluconate dh is not only an oxidation step but it’s also a decarboxylation reaction. The primary results of the pathway are: The generation of reducing equivalents, in the form of NADPH, used in reductive biosynthesis reactions within cells (e.g. fatty acid synthesis). Production of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), used in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. Production of erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P), used in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. Transketolase and transaldolase reactions are similar in that they transfer between carbon chains, transketolases 2 carbon units or transaldolases 3 carbon units. Regulation; Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the rate- controlling enzyme of this pathway. It is allosterically stimulated by NADP+. The ratio of NADPH:NADP+ is normally about 100:1 in liver cytosol.

  • 48 3-1-4. Reactions Using Mutant FSA A129S Another Mutant Enzyme
    Results _ 3-1-4. Reactions using mutant FSA A129S Another mutant enzyme, A129S, which has serine at 129th residue instead of alanine (Fig.3-11a), has high potential to catalyze the reactions using DHA as a donor substrate. Virtually, the kcat/Km value for DHA is more than 12 fold of that of WT (Schürmann, 2001). This implies that larger amounts of products can be acquired with A129S than with WT, or unfavorable reactions with WT may be accomplished with the mutant enzyme. Firstly, FSA A129S was produced in DH5α with pUC18 plasmid vector and purified with same method as WT was done (Fig.3-11b, Table 3-8). This mutant enzyme was overexpressed well and a strong band corresponding to FSA was seen on SDS-PAGE gel (as 10~15% of total protein in crude extract). In addition, this mutant enzyme held the stability against high temperature. Thus, a heat treatment step was part of the purification protocol. However, protein solution obtained from hydroxyapatite column of the final purification step showed still a few extra protein bands on SDS-PAGE gel (Fig.3-11b). Although it contained those extra proteins, the purity appeared to be more than 90% on the gel and the specific activity was quite high enough to assay the catalytic ability of the enzyme for several substrates. Indeed, even crude extract showed higher specific activity than purified WT had (Table 3-8). Three reactions (scheme 3-1) were probed to assay catalytic ability of both FSA WT and A129S. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) or hydroxyacetone (HA) were used as donor substrates, and formaldehyde or glycolaldehyde as acceptor.

  • Unit 1: Carbohydrates Structure and Biological Importance: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates
    CBCS 3rd Semester Core Course VII Paper: Fundamentals of Biochemistry Unit 1: Carbohydrates Structure and Biological importance: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates By- Dr. Luna Phukan Definition The carbohydrates are a group of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that also contain several hydroxyl groups. It may also include their derivatives which produce such compounds on hydrolysis. They are the most abundant organic molecules in nature and also referred to as “saccharides”. The carbohydrates which are soluble in water and sweet in taste are called as “sugars”. Structure of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The general empirical structure for carbohydrates is (CH2O)n. They are organic compounds organized in the form of aldehydes or ketones with multiple hydroxyl groups coming off the carbon chain. The building blocks of all carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides. A monosaccharide can be a polyhydroxy aldehyde (aldose) or a polyhydroxy ketone (ketose) The carbohydrates can be structurally represented in any of the three forms: 1. Open chain structure. 2. Hemi-acetal structure. 3. Haworth structure. Open chain structure – It is the long straight-chain form of carbohydrates. Hemi-acetal structure – Here the 1st carbon of the glucose condenses with the -OH group of the 5th carbon to form a ring structure. Haworth structure – It is the presence of the pyranose ring structure Classification of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides The simple carbohydrates include single sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Simplest group of carbohydrates and often called simple sugars since they cannot be further hydrolyzed. Colorless, crystalline solid which are soluble in water and insoluble in a non-polar solvent.

  • Structural Features
    1 Structural features As defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry gly- cans are structures of multiple monosaccharides linked through glycosidic bonds. The terms sugar and saccharide are synonyms, depending on your preference for Arabic (“sukkar”) or Greek (“sakkēaron”). Saccharide is the root for monosaccha- rides (a single carbohydrate unit), oligosaccharides (3 to 20 units) and polysac- charides (large polymers of more than 20 units). Carbohydrates follow the basic formula (CH2O)N>2. Glycolaldehyde (CH2O)2 would be the simplest member of the family if molecules of two C-atoms were not excluded from the biochemical repertoire. Glycolaldehyde has been found in space in cosmic dust surrounding star-forming regions of the Milky Way galaxy. Glycolaldehyde is a precursor of several organic molecules. For example, reaction of glycolaldehyde with propenal, another interstellar molecule, yields ribose, a carbohydrate that is also the backbone of nucleic acids. Figure 1 – The Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region is shown in infrared light as captured by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Explorer. Glycolaldehyde was identified in the gas surrounding the star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422, which is is the red object in the centre of the marked square. This star-forming region is 26’000 light-years away from Earth. Glycolaldehyde can react with propenal to form ribose. Image source: www.eso.org/public/images/eso1234a/ Beginning the count at three carbon atoms, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxy- acetone share the common chemical formula (CH2O)3 and represent the smallest carbohydrates. As their names imply, glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde group (at C1) and dihydoxyacetone a carbonyl group (at C2).
