The β-oxidation of odd-numbered FAs presents a small problem in that once most of the oxidation has occurred, the last component

is propionyl-CoA rather than acetyl CoA. This has one more carbon and as such cannot be utilized any further. Outline the events that control the metabolism of this unit in their proper order:
1) Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase converts S-methylmalonyl-CoA to R-methylmalonyl-CoA.

2) Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase demethylates R-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA.

3) Propionyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the addition of CO2 to propionyl-CoA.

4) The odd-carbon FA is metabolized to propionyl-CoA.

A) 4-3-1-2

B)3-1-4-2

C)4-1-3-2

D)2-1-3-4

Answer:

Maybe that your question is incomplete,  in the options following the statement listed none is correct ...

The procedures would have the following order:

1-Propionyl-CoA is converted to Methylmalonyl-CoA thanks to the enzyme Porpionyl-Carboxylase CoA which adheres to a carboxyl modifying the chemical structure (This enzyme depends on ATP, biotin and bicarbonate, to carry out the reaction).

2-Then, Methylmelanolyl-CoA is adhered to a radical, thanks to the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA racemase, thus generating (R) -methylmalonyl-CoA as a product of the reaction.

3- And finally, (R) -methylmalonyl-CoA is converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, by the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which requires cobalamin to catalyze carbon-carbon bond migration.

4-The mechanism of the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase begins with the cleavage of the bond between the 5 'of CH2-5'-deoxyadenosyl and cobalt, which is in its 3 + (III) oxidation state, which produces a 5'-radical. deoxyadenosil and cabalamin in the state of reduced oxidation Co (II)

Explanation:

Propionyl-CoA is important to know that it can come from different biological rations of the organism, such as: beta oxidation (of odd-chain fatty acids), the metabolism of isoleucine and valine and As a product of α-ketobutyric acid, which in turn it is a product of the metabolism of threonine and methionine.

Answer:

A) 4-3-1-2

Explanation:

Order of metabolism is as follows:

Step 1.

The odd-carbon FA is metabolized to propionyl-CoA.

Step 2.

Propionyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the addition of CO2 to propionyl-CoA.

Step 3.

Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase converts S-methylmalonyl-CoA to R-methylmalonyl-CoA.

Step 4.

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase demethylates R-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA.

propionyl-CoA is used in place of acetyl-CoA as the primer for the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. propionyl-CoA as an odd number of carbon atoms.

Three(3) enzymes are involved in the metabolism.

1. propionyl-Coa carboxylase: this carboxylated the α-carbon of a Propionyl-CoA to produce D-methylmalonyl-CoA.

2. methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase: this enzyme is involved in isomerization reaction.

3. Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase: demethylates R-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA.

<h2>Community Residents authorties prepare for an earthquake aftermath. </h2>

If we live in an area that is susceptible to earthquakes then we should follow such suggestions like store household items in a way that won’t cause injury, make sure large items are fastened to walls. Make sure not to sleep under a window and assemble emergency kits. Also if we are inside then remain in the specific position. However if, outside then use good sense and clean up any danger spots.

How does polygenic inheritance differ from mendelian inheritance
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.

Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.

Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.

Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.

Hope you understood it.
