(15 pt) Glucose Catabolism: Reaction Types
Two types of reactions are indicated below. For each reaction type:
Explain what is meant by the name of the reaction type (e.g., isomerase).
Write out two different reactions for each type, drawing on those we have studied in glucose metabolism. (Draw chemical structures for the glucose-derived molecules. Provide names for other reactants and enzymes/cofactors/coenzymes.)
Explain the role for each reaction (e.g., energy input, substrate level phosphorylation, making high energy compound, etc.)
Define:
a) Isomerase:
b) Oxidoreductase:
Two examples of each with chemical structures and names of cofactors, coenzymes, or cosubstrates:
a) Isomerase:
Enzyme name:
Enzyme name:

b) Oxidoreductase (You need Tuesday's lecture to answer this fully.)
