What does BPG stand for?
In biochemstry, it stand for 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate
The seventh reaction of glycolysis involves the conversion of ______ to?
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate . . . 3-phosphoglycerate
The sixth step of glycolysis results in the conversion of ______ to?
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate . . . 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
In which of these steps of glycolysis is ATP not produced nor is it hydrolyzed?
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate → 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
Why do blood banks dispose of blood with low levels of bisphosphoglycerate?
Low BPG levels indicate a low hemoglobin level in the red blood cells.
In glycolysis, which of these reactions produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)I. Conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerateII. Conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvateIV. Conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate?
I and II
In which step of glycolysis is an inorganic phosphate added?
The conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1, 3 bisphosphoglycerate catalyzed byglyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase using NAD+ and Pi
In this figure, the first intermediate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, is converted into compound X. Following this, compound X is then converted into 3-phosphoglycerate. What is the identity of compound X?
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
What is a bisphosphate?
A bisphosphoglycerate is any of a group of compounds containing two phosphoglycerate groups.
What is the intermediate product of glycolysis that can be used in the biosynthesis of lipids?
The intermediate products of glycolysis include glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, fructose-1 6-bisphosphate, PGAL, bisphosphoglycerate, and PEP. The main intermediate products are fructose-1 6-bisphosphate, PGAL, and PEP.
Is hemoglobin allosteric?
Yes, Hemoglobin (Hb) is allosteric - it is also cooperative, which is a related but separate phenomenon. An allosteric protein has binding sites for effectors that can alter binding of another molecule or substrate. These effectors can be positive or negative. Hemoglobin has many negative effectors, which cause it to release the O2 that it is carrying. These include 2,3, Bisphosphoglycerate, Carbon Dioxide, and H+ (low pH).
What are the factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?
The primary factor that determines how much oxygen is actually bound to hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the hemoglobin solution.
