b.ATP, NADH, acetyl CoA

2. Which one of the following statements about gluconeogenesis in mammals is false?

a.It consists entirely of the reactions of glycolysis, operating in the reverse direction.

b.It requires metabolic energy (ATP or GTP).

c. It can use amino acids as starting material.

d. The pathway includes the liver enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase.

3. Which of the following is true of mammalian glycogen synthase?

It catalyzes addition of (α1 ⟶⟶ 4) linked glucose residues to the nonreducing end of a glycogen chain.

Here is a scheme describing the keto-enol tautomerization reaction. Design the catalytic site of an enzyme that would accelerate the rate of this reaction. The rate enhancement should be as great as possible. Draw the amino acids that would be involved in the reaction and the electron flow during each reaction step. Remember that the enzyme has to be regenerated at the end of catalysis.
