Question

calculate the moles of ATP pergram for the complete aerobic metabolism of the following aminoacids.

NOTE: Be sure to oxidize theamino acid all the way to CO2.

Don't stop when you get to a Krebs cycle intermediate --go from oxaloacetate to PEP to pyruvate to acetyl-SCoA and thenoxidize the acetyl-SCoA to CO2 bygoing around the Krebscycle again.

Note: Whenever glutamate is produced in a transaminationreaction, recycle it to α-ketoglutarate (via the glutamatedehydrogenase reaction) and make ATP from the NADH.

a) alanine

b) arginine (assume that both dehydrogenases use NAD+, notNADP+, as an oxidizing agent)

c) tyrosine

d) isoleucine
