TPP is a coenzyme for transketolase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a ketopentose (xylulose5-phosphate) and an aldopentose (ribose-5-phosphate) to an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) and a ketoheptose (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate). Notice that the total number of carbons in the reactants and products is the same (5 + 5 = 3 + 7). Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
what is the structure digested by and how many reducing sugars are present ОН ОН Но OH HO Но HO- OH HO, The trisaccharide pictured could be completely digested (ie into monomers) by a beta-galactosidase and an alpha-glucosidase an alpha-galactosidase and sucrase lactase and sucrase a beta-fructosidase and lactase
Draw the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme: Carbonic anhydrase.
