Draw both the ethanol fermentation products and lactate production, indicating the location of C-14 if glucose-6-phosphate labelled with C-14 at Carbon 1 were used.
Ans. #1. Ethanol fermentation: C1 of glucose is equivalent to C2 of ethanol produced through ethanol fermentation.
So, C2 of ethanol would be 14C labelled.
#2. Lactate fermentation: C1 of glucose is equivalent to C3 of lactate produced through lactate fermentation.
So, C3 of lactate would be 14C labelled.
