Metabolism Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 61: isocitrate dehydrogenase
Answer: TCA cycle
Extra: ADP ATP, NADH
Flashcard 62: fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP-1)
Answer: gluconeogenesis
Extra: ATP AMP, fructose-2,6-BP
Flashcard 63: If an enyzme is a dehydrogenase, what do you know about its function?
Answer: catalyzes redox reaction
Flashcard 64: If an enyzme is a phosphatase, what do you know about its function?
Answer: removes phosphate group from substrate
mnemonic: -tase takes away
Flashcard 65: What is the effect of alcohol metabolism on the NADH/NAD+ ratio in the liver?
Answer: increased NADH/NAD+ ratio
Flashcard 66: Outline the pathway for pyrimidine synthesis.
Answer: make temporary base (orotic acid)
PRPP + orotic acid = UMP
UMP can converted to CTP or dTMP
Flashcard 67: Outline the pathway for purine synthesis.
Answer: PRPP + base = IMP
IMP converted to AMP or GMP
(base may be salvaged or created de novo)
