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.

Solutions

Expert Solution

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.

PART A: In a liver cell at 37 ?C the concentrations of both phosphate and glucose are normally maintained at about 5 mM each. What would be the equilibrium concentration of glucose-6-phosphate, according to the above data? ANS: Equilibrium concentration = 1.2×10?7 M PART B: This very low concentration of the desired product would be unfavorable for glycolysis. In fact, the reaction is coupled to ATP hydrolysis to give the overall reaction ATP+glucose?glucose?6?phosphate+ADP+H+ What is ?G?? for the coupled reaction?...
