A newborn girl appeared normal at birth, but within 24 hours she developed lethargy, hypothermia, and apnea. The attending physician suspects a metabolic disorder and orders a panel of labs.
Which diagnostic would be the best to distinguish between a urea cycle disorder and a disorder in β -oxidation? WHY IS THE OTHER ONES NOT AN OPTION
1. Blood glucose
2. Urinary acids
3. Serum fatty acids
4. Plasma glutamine
A full blood work up was ordered for this female and the data is presented below.
The initial blood ammonia level was elevated at 314 ug/dl (normal range = 17–80) and rapidly rose to 600 ug/dl.
The urine orotic acid level was markedly elevated at 473 umol/L creatinine (nl = 0–3). The plasma citrulline level was normal at 10 uM/L (nl = 12–55).
In this patient where orotic acid levels are elevated, list one urea cycle enzyme that is most likely deficient and one urea cycle enzyme that is least likely to be impaired. EXPLAIN WHY NOT OTHER ENZYMES

The product rule in DNA type matching is important since
- it allows the determination of blood type of the suspect
- it allows for the determination of the sex of the suspect
- it allows for a better confirmation of the match between a suspect and the DNA evidence found
- it unequivocally demonstrates the population genetics of the suspect
- it determines the sequence polymorphism for a suspects DNA

1. Some enzymes, require other molecules, co-factors, to become activated and/or to function.
a. In general, describe what type of molecule a co-factor typically is, what it does and the common types of chemical interactions it forms with the enzyme. In your explanation, include the terms: apoenzyme and holoenzyme, and describe how a cofactor affects the enzyme-substrate affinity.
b. Compare/contrast the two main classes of cofactors, and describe an example of each (other than the ones presented in lecture). PS: “describe” means to explain how the cofactor interacts with the enzyme and what the effects are
