- Malate is converted to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase in the final reaction of the citrate cycle. This redox reaction results in the reduction of NAD+ to generate NADH + H+. Answer the three questions below and choose the correct answer. (a) Calculate the delta AE for the malate dehydrogenase reaction. (b) Calculate AG and determine if the conversion from malate to oxaloacetate is favorable under standard biochemical conditions using the information below. (c) Under cellular conditions is the AG favorable or unfavorable? Oxaloacetate + 2H* + 2e- --> Malate E° = -0.17 V NAD* + H+ + 2e- --> NADH E°' = -0.32 Varrow_forwardExplain the stoichiometry of fatty acid synthesis Carefully count and account for each of the atomsand charges in the equations for the synthesis of palmitoyl-CoA, the synthesis of malonyl-CoA, andthe overall reaction for the synthesis of palmitoyl-CoA from acetyl-CoA.arrow_forwardClassify fatty acid in various way with suitable example??arrow_forward
