In: Biology
Starting with the amino acids in the following peptide, Asn-Leu-Gly-Ile-Tyr-Val-Gln-Gly-Leu (Only really need this for question two)
Describe (in words) the degradation of any one of the following (Leu, Ile, Tyr, Val) to citric acid cycle and/or ketogenic products and the degradation of two of the following (Asn, Gly, Gln) to pyruvate or citric acid cycle intermediate.
Provide details for the incorporation of any two of the amino groups from the above amino acids into urea
Degradation of Tyrosine to fumarate (citric acid cycle product) and acetoacetate (ketogenic product).
Degradation of Glycine to pyruvate.
Degradation of Asparagine citric acid cycle intermediate.
Incorporation of amino groups from Leucine (Red) and Asparagine (Black) into urea.
