Question

Need help is 3a, 3b, and 4 3a. Calculate the number of FADH, NADH, and acetyl CoA molecules produced when a molecule of myristate (14 Cs) is degraded by beta-oxidation. (3pts) b) Following complete oxidation of the acetyl CoA molecules in the citric acid cycle and electron transport to oxygen, how many ATP will be produced from 1 myristate? Be sure to show the source of all of your ATP and calculations. (Don't forget to include all the products of beta-oxidation as well as the TCA cycle). (5pts) ATP synthase enzyme has the following number 4. How many protons are required to form 1 ATP if the of e-subunits: (Explain your calculation). (2 pts) b) 12

Explanation / Answer

3a.

                Thus every degradation of the myristate molecule by beta oxidation gains

FADH2 = 1 = (1x 2 ATP) = 2 ATP

NADH= 1 = (1 X 3 ATP) = 3 ATP

Acetyl CoA = 1 = (1 X12 ATP) = 12 ATP

Total = 17 ATP molecules

3b.

The total energy gained during the oxidation of acetyl CoA molecule by the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation leads to the formation of about 30 ATP molecules.

As well as during the beta oxidation and the TCA cycle of the acetyl CoA molecules the amount of ATP molecules produced are about 40 ATP molecules.

4.

                Usually, the number of protons required to produce a 1 ATP is 3.33 protons. ATP formation happens at 120 degrees, where c- ring is 10 subunits big and it posses, 1 proton= 36 degrees turn.
