Question

For a saturated fatty acid containing n, an even number of carbon atoms derive a genreral expression for the number of moles of ATP which is generated from compete oxidation to n CO2 ( via B-oxidation)

QUESTION:

What are the numerical valuses of the parameters a and b in the equation

Atp yield= a*n +b

SO WHAT ARE THE VALUES OF A & B

HINTTTT ( assume a p/o ration of 3.0 for NADH oxidation and a value of 2.0 for FADH2 oxidation)

Please show how... I am confused This is all the information that was presented to answer the question.

also... parameters? you have to figure that out.... its like a linear equation based on the information..... you have to assume a P/O ration of 3.0 for NADH oxidation... and you have to assuame a value of 2.0 for FADH2 oxidation

HOW DO YOU GET

a= 4.48

b = 4.34

Explanation / Answer

A saturated fatty acid with even number of carbon atoms (n) undergoes beta-oxidation to produce 2 carbon compound Acetyl CoA in each cycle which enters Kreb
