1. ATP is needed to phosphorylate enzymes in the cascade pathway for glycogen phosphorylase. It also serves as an allosteric effector. A) Describe the effects of the cascade and the allosteric effects of ATP. B) If ATP levels are high, what is the most likely outcome for the activity of glycogen phosphorylase? Explain your reasoning.

List and explain the role of the enzymes needed for the following routing of nitrogen into the urea cycle: Start with a molecule of aspartate in peripheral tissue (e.g., muscle) and end with the nitrogen derived from that original aspartate molecule released as free ammonia in the liver. (Hint: routing should be by the major non-toxic carrier of nitrogen in the blood).

Glycogen is the body’s storage form of glucose. When glycogen is degraded, glucose 1-P is formed. Glucose 1-P can then be isomerized to glucose 6-P. Starting with glucose 1-P and ending with two molecules of pyruvate, what is the net yield of glycolysis in terms of ATP and NADH formed?

4. Glycogen Synthesis a) What is the role of Glycogenin in glycogen synthesis? b) Which enzymes regulate glycogen synthesis and degradation (directly or indirectly)? c) Hers disease is caused by mutations in the liver form of glycogen phosphorylase and often has mild symptoms. In contrast von Gierke disease, which is caused by mutations in glucose 6-phosphatase, has severe symptoms including severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Based on your knowledge of glycogen and glucose metabolism, why does von Gierke disease have...
