Glucose labeled with 14C in C-1 and C-6 gives rise in glycolysis to pyruvate labeled in:
#Question id: 532
#Biochemistry
In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change (DG'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol. Under what conditions (encountered in a normal cell) will the free-energy change (DG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed to the right?
#Question id: 533
#Biochemistry
Glucose, labeled with 14C in different carbon atoms, is added to a crude extract of a tissue rich in the enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway. The most rapid production of 14CO2 will occur when the glucose is labeled in:
